His local gang was tlaking to their new club official. None of them
knew anything about frequencies used for 6m AM operation.

not at all

I was trying to spark an On Topic discussion HERE about how folks
would go about local band planing

It is "band planning", Mark and it isn't done on a local basis.

It can be on vhf and above frequencies. You just need to open your
mind a little, a very little.

It is
done on a national and regional basis. If we decided to implement a
local band plan for 2m here, the 2m users in Pittsburgh, Morgantown,
Parkersburg, Marietta and Columbus would be in a dither.

There is still room for local variation in a regional plan.

You told us of
your lack of knowledge of where 6m AM activity might be found. A couple
of us told you. Now you'll undoubtedly string us along for a number of
posts as you did over the 60m "band".

Perhaps he and other associates have no 6M crystal for where the AM
activity might be found and wants a local variation.

or in our case some of us would rather operate where folks will not
come looking for as DX. I have a nice AM tube set (built from the
article in CQ VHF before it shut down) others have have various rigs
and would like to use em more

another area I hear folks around talk about is 440(70cm) since we are
north of the "a" line the national does not serve some folks needs as
well as it could
