Subject: LF: General coverage Rx bands (Off Topic)
(snip)
In this country many
years ago, some emergency services used AM in the 100 -
108MHz Band.
Since, in practice, with the broadcast receivers around in
those days, the
transmissions could be received on just about any broadcast
receiver, the
users soon moved, releasing the band up to 108 for local
radio
broadcasting.

My
impression was that they were retained there for the next thirty years, until
forced out by commercial pressures, so that the radio regulatory authority (GPO)
could accuse hobby pirate broadcasters using any Band II frequency of
"interfering with emergency services".
An interesting observation re. the
IC8500 however
