    Was it harder back then to find the frequencies than it is today?
    Well, today, all one has to do is get a scanner, plug in the lower
    and higher limit, put in scan mode and let it do all the work. But
    back then, I would imagine that no one ever passed along the
    frequency information to the public, and with very little interest
    no one (or not many people) asked. Or are my assumptions wrong, and
    was it easier?
