[CRAPRS] Alternate APRS frequencies or experiments

[djhuff at rockwellcollins.com]

I just recently setup my Igate at home for a temporary test for a friend. 
Now that the test is over, it just sitting idle.  I have been thinking 
about alternate frequencies and such for APRS tests.  Listening to 144.39 
now you hear a lot of those 10- 20 watt trackers, not many of the 1/4 watt 
QRP trackers anymore.  I live close enough to the main digi in town 
(Hiawatha) there is about 100% coverage of my area.

I have hard talk of the following alternate frequencies for trackers, and 
wondered if anybody else is experimenting with alternate frequencies, or 
something other that the standard 144.390 stuff?

Here is a quick list of the frequencies I have seen listed looking thru 
the various email newsgroups , but I have yet to hear anybody else on any 
of them.  Anybody else running alternate frequencies? 

50.620 (FM) 1200 baud 6 meter band (simplex)

144.390(FM) 1200 baud 2 meter US (simplex)
144.990(FM) 1200 baud secondary US (simplex) Nobody heard here

144.360(FM) 1200 baud baloon tracking (simplex)
145.800(FM) ISS Packet (alternate)
145.825(FM) ISS Packet

222.090(FM) 1200 baud (simplex)
223.600(FM) 9600 baud (simplex)

445.925(FM) 1200 baud APRS (East Coast)
