When I first read "metric system" I couldn't help but recall grammar school teachers claiming we needed to it because soon the U.S. was going to switch. That was decades ago! I do find I use it now for my non-US blog readers. I figure it helps me become more used to using it.

The Before Its News folks picked the article up quickly with the original incorrect spelling.<br /><br />The Frank and Fern blog has many articles about radio listed under Frank's Radio Communications. Thank you for the nice words, and again, if you will read the other radio articles you will find quite a bit of information that will help you in your pursuit of a ham radio license. Or in the ham world, it is referred to as a ticket.<br /><br />Best of luck,<br /><br />FrankFrank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-77696986663633759902013-09-29T21:14:12.974-05:002013-09-29T21:14:12.974-05:00Great article as I am interested in ham radio.My o...Great article as I am interested in ham radio.My only concern is and this comes from doing industrial maintenance at the moment,is the spelling of a sine wave.Im not nit picking,but I would think that this information coming from a seasoned ham operator,would know the difference in spelling from sign to sine.I believe the proper spelling for this article is sine, not sign.Since it is a sine wave the author is talking about.If I’m wrong please someone correct me.Or am I being anal here on spelling?<br /><br />Either way nice article looks like I will be getting into ham radio asap,since Morse code is not a must to learn anymore.I should be able to pass the first test easy enough.<br />Please author keep the good work coming.<br /><br />ozman<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
