[sdiy] what have I been taking?

[John L Marshall]

FM broadcasting started in the mid to late 1930's. Thank you Edwin
Armstrong. Much of the early work was done with amateur radio stations. I
think that the frequencies used most were in the 40 to 44 MHz band. 44 to 50
MHz, I believe was TV channel one.

Take care,
John
