RF Channels 38-83 have all been taken from (US) TV since the 80s. Mostly used for mobile phones.
rf 70+ is 800 Mhz
rf 52+ is 700 Mhz
rf 38+ is 600 Mhz
Lots of phones support these frequencies.
Kind of annoying for tv, because cell towers on frequencies that used to be tv frequencies can overload amplifiers, so peeps need to go put filters up before the preamp.
