I thought the 72 MHZ region was used in Europe, as the 30-50 MHZ band is used here in the USA. I also thought the other band was for fm broadcast, although the WRTVH lists no fm stations in the USSR. However, some are listed in communist satellite countries. Any insights on this ?? ....... Ed Soomre N1BFF Digital Equipment Corp Marlboro, MA 01752
