Default CW Boatanchor Calling Frequency ?

For years 3546 has served us vintage equipment aficianados well.
Unfortunately, largely due to their robbing us CW ops of most of our
exclusive 80 M spectrum, the middle portion of the band has filled with nets
and hams who seem only interested in collecting the membership numbers of
other members trivial little clubs. Very often the equipment we are using is
frail and low in power so we can't compete up against the Kensues and
YaeCOMs not to mention the gaggle of contester super ops that seem to own no
receivers. Although I appreciate every QSO, I must admit it is always more
fun when I am told the other station is using vintage gear. I am suggesting
we boatanchor enthusiasts move far away from the crowd and start using 3599
kc. Calling "CQ," "CQ BA" or just "BA" would alert this otherwise quiet
frequency that someone is there who is running fun gear to hear. Comments?

See you on 3599?
