Newsgroup QSO party?
 
How's about a NG QSO party, where we all get together?

I suggest 7M025Hz A1A Sunday 10:00 GMT AM, 12 WPM minimum.

(Or even 145M8Hz on AM (Sorry, don't know the Z9Z
code, some pedant will no doubt pick me up on it))

I'm not sure what you mean here by "10:00 GMT AM" - is it something to
do with the length of the day on your planet being 23H20? Or are you
referring to MCW?

Oh here we go!

How long have we been encouraged to use THAT notation for frequency?
I haven't come across it before.

I still put the decimal point where it belongs in resistor values, the M,K
or R goes at the end.
And I still draw a resistor as zig-zag.

If a notation for numerical representation is pleasing, then
use it. That it was defined originally for small components
is neither here nor there. The telephone was designed as
a machine to aid the deaf. Does that prevent you from using
it in other spheres?

Resistors as oblongs were conceived by professors of engineering
who were no doubt quite good as professors, but hopeless at
software and so couldn't work out how to draw a zig-zag using
a computer.

I think you mean "k" rather than "K"?

But why do you use "R"; you seem to be in contradiction with yourself
here.
