Hi to all,
Hi Telecolor 3007,

100MHz limitation affected German, French & UK radios, probably all of Europe.
In France, pretext was "reserved for military use" even though they never used it.

French FM started "experimentally" in 1954, then first regular program, 1956, state-controlled.
We only had 3 then 4 programs, still state-controlled until 1981 when President Mitterrand opened up FM and TV to commercial broadcasting.

In the East-block you had the OIRT FM band, from memory 64 to 74MHz.

Best Regards
