I B a Dell with XPsp2 and IE7 via Google Groups
unless I have posting problems; then Thunderbird 2
seams to work as a get around.

"MC 274.3 Meter Jesus" just doesn't work.

Nobody divides the exact freq down to meters. Meters is only used to
represent given segments of the spectrum and has been used by the most
profound DXers, Hams and hobbyist since the first spark gap propagation of
electromagnetic waves shot into the aether. Geez!

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.

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

Monty Burns couldn't have said it better!

That "spark gap" reference is sure to pique the interest of the Ipod
generation.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that, way back when it was decided
that we should use Hertz (Hz) instead of cycles per second (c/s), it was
to be only for electrical units. There was no mention of the change
applying to the vibration/oscillation of non-electrical things, so these
should have stayed in c/s. For example, the frequency of an audio signal
applied to the voice coil of a loud speaker would be in Hz. The cone
would vibrate in c/s. However, Hz now seems to be applied universally.
