Plan to Use Kilocycles in Place of Meters for Channel Designation
The Federal Radio Commission may shift to kilocycles over meters when designating channels as meters prove irregular and decimals needed for precision. Engineers favor kilocycles to aid editors since wavelength in meters need not be printed. 200 meters equals 1500 kilocycles and vice versa. Kilocycles measure frequency, meters measure wavelength, with shorter waves vibrating faster. Further text notes 555.2 meters on the broadcast band.
