[TheList] 70cm / 6meter and so forth..

Hi Chris .
The Meter band is calculation of HZ  in to meters,If you take 11 meterband divided into 3.000.000 cycles is 27Mhz
Suppose an Rf current has a frequency of 3.000.000 cycles per sec ,the field will go through a complete reversal in 1/3.000.000 of a sec.
In the same period of time the wave  will move 300.000.000 meters ,by the time that wave have moved that distance the next cycle has begun.
The first wave in other words covers a distance  before the beginning of the next one ,this distance is the wave length.

Example :the wave length corresponding to a frequency of 3650 kilo cycles is 82.2 meters  < 3 00.000 : 3650 kilo cycles is 82.2 meters or 3.000.000 : 27Mhz is 11 meters

  Hello, 

  Can anyone please explain to me, what they mean?

  Why is it example "6 Meter band"  or 70 centimeter band?
  not necessarily those bands .. but yeah --

  Always puzzled me.. 

  Thanks in advance..
