->  HDTV will be in the 800-900 MHz range which some high-end
->  channels currently use.  Channels 14-83 were 450-870 MHz
->  if I remember correctly (70 * 6 + 450).  The FCC took the
->  top 14 channels 70-83 and sold the airwaves to cell phones.
->  I understand our channel 69 will be the first to go since
->  it occupies a portion of the spectrum where HDTV will be.

 I had expected we would have lost Ch 69 already. Apparently the
Shutdown was delayed along with the Manditory conversion to HDTV when
that happened a while back.
