Well, true, there is no BHF audio "track", if you wish to get pedantic about it;
I was using the term because it was easier than saying "the BHF audio portion of
the video signal". The mono audio track is indeed a separate track, written
longitudinally along one edge of the tape (the other edge is used for control
signals).
