 The big issue with re-channelizing the simplex frequencies is that, the national calling frequency would move to 146.525.  On a spreasheet, it's possible to pin the calling frequency to 146.520 and change all the other frequencies around it, however on my radio, when I set my VFO spacing to 6.25 kHz or 12.5 kHz, I can only select 146.525, not 146.520.  Many radios are also pre-programmed with a calling frequency button set to 145.520 so that would be a much bigger change.  Maybe this is one of the reasons that WWARA doesn't address simplex frequencies. The big issue with re-channelizing the simplex frequencies is that, the national calling frequency would move to 146.525.  On a spreasheet, it's possible to pin the calling frequency to 146.520 and change all the other frequencies around it, however on my radio, when I set my VFO spacing to 6.25 kHz or 12.5 kHz, I can only select 146.525, not 146.520.  Many radios are also pre-programmed with a calling frequency button set to 145.520 so that would be a much bigger change.  Maybe this is one of the reasons that WWARA doesn't address simplex frequencies.
