- I am not sure, but I know that a block of frequencies in the 25-26 MHz
- band are used for remote broadcasts. This is a very old band that is
- seldom used anymore in this day of 950 MHz allocations and satellite
- uplinks. You may, however, be hearing the backhaul link from the station
- to the remote site.
