Our vintage AM net is on 3675 Khz. I ground up a BC610 crystal to get there.That frequency was chosen a long time ago by the original members of the group to "get away" from the QRM.

Subject: [MRCA] Universal Radio frequencies for Vintage Vehicle collectors
I’ve been working for a while with vintage military vehicle collectors on universally usable radio frequencies for all three regions in the IARU ( International Amateur Radio Union ). The idea is to set certain standard frequencies that those with mostly standard, non-exotic vehicle mounted military radios could use at events, parades and the like and be able to talk to one another. For the most part, standard frequencies are pretty easy to establish between regions 2 ( the Americas) and 3 (Asia/Pacific) since the radio spectrums available for use are similar. There is a bit of a difference in spectrum in region 1 (Europe, Africa and the Middle East ) and regions 2 and 3. For instance, the 75/80 meter band in region 1 only goes to 3800 kc. So 3885 kc, which is popular with owners of WW2 vintage HF sets here in the States is out of band on Europe. 10 meter band frequencies 29.6 MHz and 29.1 MHz FM are ok in to use in all three regions ( BC-659 radios). Some operators here use 29.4 MHz FM as their talk frequency here in the States, and get some pretty interesting propagation, but in region 1, 29.4 MHz FM is a satellite uplink frequency, as is 29.3 MHz FM in the States. Also, it seem that kn region 1, nothing in the 6 meter band is available for use, where as in regions 2 and 3, there is some available bandwidth around 50 MHz FM. Interesting stuff. If the military vehicle people can get it together, could be very exciting.
