style='FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri","sans-serif"; COLOR: #1f497d'>Actually, one of
the main reasons for California’s use of low-band VHF is because a large
portion of California is mountainous and higher frequencies simply require a
lot more infrastructure in the way of repeaters to be able to cover the same
areas with hills and valleys. This would result in much higher costs for
reliable coverage.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
