	Around here, the local clear-channel AM station (KMOX) uses a
FM radio system on 161.730 Mhz for their traffic copter-to-base
reporting. I'm not sure if this frequency is specifically allocated
for this type of service or not. I thought I once heard that this same
system and frequency was used as a link to the local Emergency
Operations Center for their EBS broadcast audio.
