When I first came on VHF, most activity was on AM. These days what phone activity exists is SSB or FM with AM quite rare.
In some ways, this is a pity. AM gear used to be able to be picked up very cheaply and homemade AM gear can be very simple. I have to confess that I am rarely on AM these days, preferring FT8 as my voice is poor. I come on 2m and 70cm SSB for activity contests and once a week on a 2m FM net.See https://sites.google.com/view/g3xbm4/home/vhfuhfmicrowaves/vhf-am .
