Unfortunately this seems to be the case everywhere in the US.
I may be the only one here in this part of Alaska with a 222 transverter (One other ham has done 222-eme so that's two). Most just buy a FM mobile or HT and get on 223.50 (Nat'l Simplex channel) or repeaters if they exist.
But a comment about the 222 band: Too often it has the best propagation for long-range tropo contacts (bettering 2m quite often). Really a shame it is underutilized by hams.
