The WIA bandplan suggests
144.625 - 144.675 General / Experimental
145.225 - 145.275 General / Experimental
145.625 SSTV / Fax (AFSK)

However, just going there and transmitting is highly unlikely to work if you expect a reply. So the only way IMHO is to line up a sked with someone and in that case probably any frequency out of the satellite section or beacons and not being used by anyone would be fair game. Whatever you decide.
