[MRCA] LOW VHF Band Freqs (Was Torn Fu. restoration)

[Tim]

Hi Ray - Out here in Cali the CHP primary is still all over the 42 mc
segment in cars & repeaters, regional parks are in 44 mc, local fire backup
is in 46 mc.  "In-N-Out" hamburgers used 33.4 for the order-taker out in
the parking lot to the cashier...(was interesting to hear what some people
ordered!)

My reserve unit was assigned 30.60 and a bunch of others for training and
our local Coastal River Division/Special Boat Unit had many long standing
assignments in the 30-50 mc band, all FM of course.  Those assignments were
made by the Navy frequency coordinator at Pt. Mugu... 40.5 is the long
standing military emergency/SAR freq.  (Third harmonic is 121.5.....)
Recall that the FCC has no jurisdiction over US military communications -
that's the realm of the NTIA.  But I would assume they are coordinated at
some level up the food chain in the US..

I'm kind of more interested in getting hold of a bunch of HF freqs that
were formerly used by SW broadcasting - now mostly vacated...Like that will
ever happen!  hihi.
