Peter you are so correct...It is not a bandplan on AM it is a calling frequency...The idea of a calling freq is WA2CWA this is W1PE...Hi Peter move to 3.650 so we can chat...No more no less... Same as Chan 16 for boaters or Chan 14 for CB or Chan 1 for FRS...If we used it that way and if people understood that what a wonderful world it would be !!!
Ohhh and let me add 146.52 also a calling freq... Sorry guys I am just a darn activist...

And Bill said: a petition for an AM Window from 3870 to 3885. I view the AM Window (if you want to call it that) from 3600 to 4000 KHz. I see no rational to live and operate in a 15 KHz box. And Don's comment on removing subbands: To remove subbands, brings to the HF bands (excluding present 160 M), any mode, any bandwidth, anywhere. Might roll all ham radio activity into anarchy; only the strongest survive. Bandplans are operating guides and have no legal teeth (ex. listen to 160 M during a world-wide CW contest); subbands are law and subject to disciplinary action if violated. Also remember that the U. S. has a lot more licensed amateurs than Canada.
