Channel 76
Channel 76 was removed from television use in 1983, but was formerly used by television stations in North America which broadcast on 842-848 MHz. In the United States, channels 70-83 were rarely used and served primarily as a "translator band" containing low-power repeater transmitters to fill gaps in coverage for existing stations. Many are defunct; the rest have moved to other frequencies:
- The Midwest Program on Airborne Television Instruction (MPATI) had used UHF channels 72 & 76 (KS2XGA and KS2XGD, respectively) on an experimental basis in stratocasting operation from 1961-1967. The project was abandoned as the cost was prohibitive.[1]
