Anyone who has trouble hitting the Red Cross repeater will want to participate in this exercise.

Uhhh 145.52? That is not legal under FCC Part 97. 145.500 is the upper limit in that subband

Technically, according to FCC rules, you can set up a repeater on any frequency pair within the amateur radio bands, provided you have the appropriate license and do not cause harmful interference. The FCC does not require frequency coordination.
