145.00 to 145.10....Not recommended in the Atlanta area......there are still mountaintop to mountaintop Packet gateways and DX cluster nodes active in that segment. In fact, the 5 state SE SEDAN backbone operates on 145.07 MHz.

In 1973, my Ameco TX-62 and I were on 145.08 and 50.4 AM.  There was always a group of folks to work on 2 meters in the evening for a good part of the 1970s.  Most of the six meter guys like W3BWU and W3UEJ had already moved to SSB because KDKA in Pittsburgh was the CBS affiliate on Channel 2, and being 30 miles away was brutal for TVI - but as a broke college kid I couldn't afford a sideband rig.
