As others have pointed out, I don't know of any widely published band plans that identify an AM Window exclusively for AM operation on 75 meters. 3885 has been a recognized AM calling frequency for many years. However, here on the East Coast, I'm willing to bet you can probably find as many AM'ers operating 3880, 3875, and 3870 as they do 3885. Even I have worked SSB stations on 3870. No one owns a frequency and definitely no one owns an imaginary window. It doesn't take rocket science to set up either during QRM'less QSO's or through e-mail, or even via land lines or a USPS Post Card, alternate frequencies to check for activities of interested parties (i.e. nets, swap shops, current medical ills, etc.). This type of constant discontent is probably why the majority of my 75 meter AM activity is below 3870 KHz. I have no use for imaginary windows since there is a heck of a lot of empty spectrum as you tune lower in the band. And, contrary to popular belief, you can work coast to coast below 3870 KHz.
