Well; it wasn't on the CB, 27 MHz AM band
was started in 1958. I've heard stories
about HAMs and short-wave junkies picking
up all kinds of activity during 'the war'.
There are STILL militarizes using the AM
Hi Frequency band. Interesting, tho: the
German --at least the Panzer Divisions--
were known to broadcast on VHF-Lo in
FM. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.


HF and VHF-Low are adjacent and have overlapping characteristics ca. 30 mHz.
