The FM Channels start at 200, in the FCC's numbering scheme.  The bottom
Non-Commercial channel is channel 200, 87.9, allocated only for 10 watt
"secondary" stations who can find no other NCE frequency, and only on a
noninterference basis with channel 6 and other NCE stations, and finally, not
within 250 miles of the Canadian or Mexican borders.  88.1 is channel 201, not
1, 88.3 202, etc.  87.9 (200) to 91.9 (219) are reserved for Non Commercial
Educational stations.  Alaska also has some special rules due to grandfathered
"point-to-point" relay stations operating in part of the FM band

This chart is generally very good, and should be made part of the FAQ for
either this group or rec.radio.shortwave.
