It's been 15-20 years since I heard this story, but there was (maybe still is) a big city in Texas where there were two FM broadcast stations that were exactly 5 mhz apart, and on the same tower. It was also the tallest tower in town. Moto wanted to put some UHF community repeaters on the tower, and supposedly made the offer to both stations that they would pay all costs involved in either one moving at least 600khz... There was an amateur UHF box on that tower, but it used (if I remember correctly, a 6 mhz offset. Never heard anything further after that, don't know if either station did, but it would be nice to know "the rest of the story".
