145.5 to 145.8 mHz is probably a good place to settle. 144.3 to 144.5 mHz is the new designated OSCAR subband. Also, there is a "study committee" in the making to research and consider developing a plan to move the US amateur community to narrowband channel spacing for VHF/UHF. I would assume the reference is to FM channels because there's a reference that the current band plan uses 15 and 20 kHz FM channels. However, it may also be a great opportunity to finally buttonhole a 2 meter AM calling frequency if a new 2 meter band plan evolves.
