You wont find megacycles on your Drake either. It's been MHz for decades.
Just divide 300 by the frequency in Mhz (megahertz) to get the wavelength
in meters.
example: 300 / 9.600 Mhz = 31.25 meters ..... it's in the 31 meter
SWL band.

I can't find "meters" anywhere on my Drake. Can you translate that into
megacycles?



Megacycles and megahertz are the same thing. Megacycles is old school. But
you knew that Bri. Just thought I'd mention it for the younger crowd.


Megacycles per second
