How about Megahertz?

Well, when I have a specific instance in mind I type out the
frequency but in this case I was tuning through the bands and
recalled that I heard Brother Stair in passing through them but did
not stay to listen so I generalized that I heard him on certain
bands. I did not note the specific frequencies that I heard him on.
The bands are noted by meters not frequency so you must then have a
frequency definition of the SWBC bands.

Er, what's wrong with using "The 7 MHz Band" instead of "The 39 Meter
Band" (or 41 or whatever number is used). A quick look in the FCC
regulations (Part 73 subpart F) shows that officaldom doesn't bother
with meter band designations.

To bring this back to WWCR or whoever is running in the 3 MHz band,
what regulations are they operating under? My (older, 1989) copy of
the broadcast regs says that international broadcasting starts in
bands above 5950 kHz. (73.702f)

OK, we will see how that works.
