Regarding 2m band, depending upon where you are you may find more activity on 144.200 USB, particularly between Melbourne and Sydney areas. 144.100 has generally been regarded as the primary voice calling freq and 144.200 is the secondary freq. These days im tending to lean towards use of 144.200 more so than 144.100 as 144.200 is closer to other areas of the band like beacons and digital areas.
Depending upon the time of year, you may find more stations on 2m SSB during the day when there is sporadic E around, tropospheric ducting more so closer to night time hours or early morning. But its one of those bands where if your in the right place at the right time it can be very rewarding.
