That business of FM ending at the bottom of FAA radiowaves is exactly the issue still around today concerning the use of cellphones. Someone will know better than I, but in the 1960's I believe a TWA DC3 hit an AA DC4 in fog over the East River in New York --- authorities allegedly found in a child's carryon a radio in the ON position at the top of the dial.... and that, I belive, was the beginning of the story about radios mucking with nav equipment....

If the radio station was at 107.9, that is about as close as you can get! Looks like KBAD(Barksdale AFB) uses 109.9 for a localizer frequency. 108.6 is in use by the nearby DTN (Downtown) VOR. --- Bahadir Acuner <bahadiracuner@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Nope.. > The end of your FM dial is pretty close to where > civil > aviation freq starts. > > BAHA > Fan of Canada for cheaper aircraft paint > > --- Ken Sanford <kaerophil@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > I thought that aircraft use a completely different > > band/frequency than > > radio sytations.
