Morning Paul
In the northern Willamette Valley, “Tigard Oregon” about 7:00 pm local time nightly on 28.130 there is a CW net hosted by AB1LL “Bill” that is open to all, he suggests that you operate at 10-20 words per minute. I try to login when I can. You being near Eugene you might not hear him but he’s there

They do make one in those bands.  Hans net merical is adding SSB to his QMX HF line of radios. 
I just received a QMX+ and while not interested in CW with it I plan to use it for practicing CW ( I am currently at 12 with 7 Farnsworth. )
I visited here to see what your CW QRP weekly or monthly schedules are.  Have not found it yet other than the Monthly Pie and Coffee  in WA and the Salmoncon  and Sasquatch Stomp events.  
Do you have any other online or on the arr events for the rest of the N.W?        
 
I am in the Willamette Valley OR.  I also plan to partake in the Oregon Valley Radio Club Fun with More Code who practice at 10 WPM.

Fun with Morse Code

This net is to provide practice and feedback to those who are learning Morse code. It’s a great place to go slow but get it right.

I brought up this question eons ago and it was kind of poo-pooed.  I think the main argument was that the majority of builders don't have the precision in assembly required for success at VHF frequencies.  I think it would still be interesting.

This is the thread I started.

I like the idea since 2m ssb radios are so rare, or expensive.

A second hand FT897 is hardly expensive 


 

Spurious regulations are tougher in this spectrum because it's used for public safety. Perhaps a tiny SA may not be good enough. So filters might have to be factory aligned. Perhaps better to assemble entire vhf uhf rig at the factory. 
A 144 MHz transceiver that could also receive 432 MHz might be interesting. 
But the entrepreneur gets to decide what is viable.
