Hi Kent,

With the exception of radios that have a winky-blinky instead of a tuning 
dial, all my equipment is calibrated in megacycles and kilocycles.  Cycles 
is what we are talking about here.  My understanding is that hz stands for 
Hertz and I think that was a man's name!  They could have just as well 
called them "Marconies" and abreviated that as Mc so then a million 
Marconies would have been MMc and a thousand would be KMc.  Neat huh!  And 
you would have to differentiate screwdrivers.  The "Smith" would have to be 
a common screw driver as we have a Phillips; or that could be a a Smith 
Phillips.

I have to also own up to having a "Home," or "fixed" station rather than a 
base station.  Police, fire, taxis, and CB'ers have base stations.

Ah the illusion of words,
George
