I suggest that stations in the Eastern Time Zone select two
frequencies, stations in the Central Zone another pair,
stations in the Mountain Zone a third and stations in the
Pacific Zone a fourth.
That way we could reduce interference to each other and move
around at will. Most of the conversations occur between
stations that are near each other anyway.

I'm hearing more and more Extra class AM'ers expressing
their intent to appear on 3600-3700 the minute the
expanded phone band opens on the 15th of December.
Frequencies I hear discussed are 3685, and down on the low
end near 3610. No need for everyone to congregate on one
frequency. Why not make it a point to start up right away
on several frequencies spread uniformly throughout the
band, and each station periodically shift around from one
QSO to another, so that all the QSO frequencies remain in
use into the wee hours, but allowing everyone to
participate in the QSO on each of the frequencies.
Let's make it more like the etiquette of a successful
house party. Instead of everyone standing around the
entire evening confined to one small group, be sociable
and continue circulating from one group to another for the
duration.
WATSA y'all? You got less than a month to upgrade to
Extra if necessary, and to get the rig and antenna tuned
up and working on the low end of the band!
