OT: [KX3] Band Plans

[Ken G Kopp]

Years ago the local law enforcement used 34.980 (simplex) and of course was
often plagued by "skip" from other areas.  There was no CTCSS then and
their solution was to change the 10 code to 9 code.  10-8 became 9-8, etc.

In 1959 at the peak of the sunspot cycle, the Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department main dispatch was co-channel with the NYPD dispatch channel
for the Brooklyn Borough Command (39.58 IIRC).  At the time I was a
reserve deputy with the LASO  and we would generally hear the NYPD calls
in the daytime.  I had no problem with that because I grew up in
Brooklyn and recognized both the accent and the street names!

At the time I was still a Tech and had no HF privileges and of course
Elecraft was not in existence. Six meters was not in general use in both
the LA and the NY areas because TV Channel 2 was in use locally (CBS O&O).
