Re: OTA Channel 1

by "Mr Ed" <ecamin@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 12, 2008 at 10:10 AM

Channel 1 is the Radio Amateur 6 Meter band  and the current CB allocation.

After the second World War Hams petitioned the FCC for more freq. 
allocation.  They gave them 50 to 54 mHz, the upper 2/3rds of channel 1. 
48 
to 50mHz became commercial and later some was given to CB use. I suspect 
that when you scanned for stations that a local strong Ham was on the air 
and your scan grabbed that channel.
