VHF AM - Is there a "National AM Simplex Frequency on 2 Meters?

[kd4e]

Good points Bry ... though I still think that low
power AM Nets may need a 1.5KW "guardian angel" to
keep the frequency clear of careless intruders
during the Net.

It is real easy on 2M to not hear any of the low
power ops if you happen to be outside their area,
and especially if they are using beams.

This is especially true if one is running a 100W
FM-only piece of commercial surplus gear mobile,
probably never know the AMers are there unless on
top of them!
