Uhhh *raises hands* All my analog-tuned shortwave radios are still
calibrated in Meters - even the new ones.

Makes tuning much easier when someone says "such and such freq. on the
31 meter band" - spin the knob to 31, rock the fine-tuning knob back
and forth. Bingo. Station tuned in.

That's how I spent most of my misguided childhood.

And then my uncle loaned and later gave me his Transoceanic with
band-spread, figuring I could get much more enjoyment out of it. Now
THAT was bliss!

And the wave band switch was still calibrated in meters! So THERE.
*Pffbbttt*
