USA English Stardard System -versus- The-Rest-of-the-World
which uses the Metric System.


==========================
It shall be lawful throughout the United States of America to employ the
weights and measures of the metric system; and no contract or dealing,
or pleading in any court, shall be deemed invalid or liable to objection
because the weights or measures expressed or referred to therein are
weights or measures of the metric system.

As a result, the U. S. has been "metric" since 1866, but only in the
sense that Americans have been free since that time to use the metric
system as much as they like.

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

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.

Monty Burns couldn't have said it better!

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

I'm still trying to figure out how a cycle became a hertz. A cycle is
a noun, or it could be a verb. Hertz was a fellah.

If you listen to shortwave long enough you don't have to do division.

I've been listening long enough to know that broadcasters themselves are

Well, to be blunt and to make sure I exercise my right to free speech and
expression, I think anyone who listens to shortwave that doesn't "get"
something as simple as a meterband is actually pretty damned stupid. *I've
never heard anyone protest something so intrinsic to the hobby. *You can
have the last word. I have a feeling you will continue to press your
meaningless point until you do get the last word.
