TV Channels 5 and 6 broadcast in the 76-88 MHz band. 75 MHz exactly is an
aircraft beacon frequency and some land mobile is distributed either side of
75 MHz. TV channels 2-4 extend from 54 MHz to 72 MHz. TV channel 1 does
not exist.
The sound channel for a broadcast TV is at the upper end of its 6 MHz
wide allocation. Thus most FM broadcast receivers are able to hear channel
6's audio.


Ah! Now it makes sense. Thanks for the details.

Being a Midwesterner, it is a mystery why one would wish to have a
honeymoon in NYC. Next time, see the real USA.


Wife's choice, and not a bad one really. NY was sort of like Paris but
much more conservative.

I also spent a week's holiday (vacation) driving through California in
January, sticking to the rural areas and avoiding SF/LA. Drove through
the central valley and headed up through the hills towards Leavitt
Peak which was breathtaking. Was also nice to chat to people who, like
me, were country folk. Mind you, they do like their Christianity
there, don't they?
