[aprssig] Why different freq in Europe vs US?

[Steve Daniels]

There are around 6 different frequencies in use depending where you are in
the world, normally it makes no difference, but ideally for things like
transatlantic balloons, the ability to change frequency based on longitude
would be good.

At the moment stations in Europe switch frequency to try and receive the
balloons, sadly I cannot easily switch the 144.390 with my APRS system

Why are different frequencies used for APRS in Europe and North America?
