Actually, if I remember it correctly, the ARRL asked the AM community back a number of years ago, what the "typical" gathering spots and/or "calling frequencies" were on the various bands for AM operation. You might want to contact one of these people to provide input to changes to, at least, the ARRL Band Plan. http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/index.html#contact
