I know very little about the procedures the Europeans followed. I do remember attending a broadcasting seminar at a Washington hotel where a very good-looking Spanish woman engineer spoke about testing multipath reception in the Pyrenees. Remember much of Europe is mountainous. Germany had problems with FM/FM stereo reception, for example. So I would suppose that multipath problems were a primary consideration for European engineers. It was probably a good thing that this was the case.
