Nah, you'll get all kinds of excuses wrt how unwieldy and expensive
VHF
gear
would've been back in 1958. But you know what...the manufacturers
would've
worked that ou and historically ALWAYS have. That really wasn't the
FCC's
job, it was, and still is, the job of the manufacturers.

Your arguement dont doesn't hold water Bert. There was a CB band on
UHF back then.
It was in the 400 mhz range FM and was called Class A.

I remember it, Dan. Now dig a little further and research when that
band came into being and why it was subsequently reassigned. Then tell
me a little more about "my arguement." ;-)

As I remember, and Im not going to bother 'researching'. Class A CB was
available when Class D CB was initiated. That was the late 50s.
