  Channel 1 never went below 54 MHz, and CB is in the 27 MHz vicinity. 
There
is no overlap between CB and television channels, present or historical.

  The set would not lock on amateur activity, since the amateur signal
would
not have been an 8VSB signal, and would not have had a PSIP data stream
identifying
it as channel 1.
