I know, I was just noticing that myself, I didn't realize that the modern FM went up to 109 Mhz... although an old Silvertone radio I had (I ended up scrapping it out and keeping the cabinet for a TV stand because it was too far gone for me to try and salvage it) supposedly went up to 109 Mhz according to the Sams photofact I had for it and that Silvertone was from around 1948...
my guess is that the 109 Mhz portion of the original modern FM Band was reallocated by the FCC to either the police or the Military (just like everything else was that the FCC didn't think we needed anymore including the old Analog TV broadcast spectrum, I'm kind of seeing a pattern here...
