Analog broadcasting in the VHF low band?
Just curious if there are any analog transmitters still operating in the VHF low band (channels 2-6) to date? Has this become a "dead band" and has any of those frequencies been allocated to other uses? The reason I ask is that DTV (More appropriately called SDTV and/or HDTV) signals are suseptible to noise and interference problems in the VHF low band, thus they are avoided. Most if not all of DTV broadcasting is between channels 7-51 now (VHF hi and UHF). I know there's a few LPTV stations broadcasting analog, but don't know of any that are on channel 5 or below.
