True, and in Europe, where thay only have a 10MHz wide band, ATV has gone to 23cM using FN, not AM. Makes old satellite TV receivers usable for the Rx side without modification other than a preamp.
Australia has nominally 420-450 MHz, but 420 - 430 is unavailable in all of the major populated areas, so the band is effectively only 430-450 MHz for most of us these days.
I guess it would be a struggle getting all the US FM repeaters into 433-435 and 438-440 but most in this area are unused anyway.
That's where our repeaters sit here, with 440-450 being ATV and site-site links.
