And if you wish to know the wavelength of any frequency, just divide 300 by the
frequency in MHz and you have the wavelength in meters. How easy is that!

Hi,
I will contribute something for fun as well.
In 1976 I got my ham license and bought an Argonaut 509. I had just
finished getting my first class radiotelephone license and the radio
station I worked at required us to give the temperature in Celsius and
Fahrenheit. So I learned a few temps because we used them a lot living
on the Central coast of California. I didn't like Celsius.
Now I live in Minnesota and when the temperature gets below zero
Fahrenheit the number is just pretty much meaningless. It's just cold.
Now I appreciate Celsius because -23c makes sense since we know that it
is 23 degrees below freezing.
So now when I cut a dipole for 20 meters I just keep it in metric and
cut a bit more than 10 meters.
