Default June 11 Special Broadcast on 42.8 MHz

This is to commemorate 70th Anniversary of the very first FM broadcast,
ever.
On the original frequency, at original site, with copy of original
transmitter.

42.8 MHz is low enough in frequency that some DXers might get skip
reception. Most ICOM radios go high enough to get this.

As do many scanners, IF they are capable of wideband FM reception (WFM), though
something might be heard on NBFM.

Sometimes, if you tune off the center frequency in AM mode, you can
readable audio.
