[MRCA] Torn Fu. restoration

[Mkdorney]

I’m about 3000 miles away from California, so I don’t thing the Torn Fu.d2 has quite the range to reach.

"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!)

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.....)

Fire Departments and organizations that had been around from the beginning of time like State Police were once on Low Band but they have all vacated those frequencies decades ago. Some Fire Departments had so many pocket pagers and Plektron receivers that they were maybe the last to use it.
