145.520 simplex is a frequency many HAMs monitor...

Here is a protocol for its use and it's secondary frequency's they follow currently.

The Wilderness Protocol” recommends that stations (fixed, portable or mobile) monitor the primary (and secondary if possible) frequency(s) every three hours starting at 7 AM local time, for five minutes (7:00-7:05 AM, 10:00-10:05 AM, etc.) Additionally, stations that have sufficient power resources should monitor for five minutes starting at the top of every hour, or even continuously.” The primary frequency is the National Simplex Calling Frequency…146.52 MHz. The secondary frequencies are 446.0, 223.5, 52.525 and 1294.5 MHz.

Most will be on 2mm ..make contact on simplex then chose a freq to move off to..where you go is determined by the hardware both are using.
