Does anyone remember the other Common freqs?
142.29 comes to mind, though I can't recall its function. Yes, the days of crystal tuning, 90kHz channel spacing, and 10-channel VHF sets.
VHF was superseded by UHF in the early 60s; UHF first met by me at Leeming on the JP, 61-62, but back to VHF for the Vampire at Valley 62-63.
