Yes; I don't know if it varies around the USA but in the Midwest we use
144.260 as a microwave coordination frequency. I'll probably have it along
during the UHF contest. There are no rules disallowing use of other bands
not a part of the contest to arrange QSO's on microwave bands. You just
can't count them as contest QSO's.
We hadn't agreed on a frequency on 432 for coordination of microwave QSO's
around here. 432 is my best band but I have to hope others point their
beams at me.
