Yes, my stupid. w is a full wavelength.

HOWEVER, the assumed frequency is MHz. (megahertz), not mHz (millihertz)

Life was *so* much simpler when you could just call it 'megacycles', and
use
'mc' as the abbreviation, and everybody knew what you meant. grin

Frequency is measured in cycles, not cubits, bushels or yards.
Hertz rents cars.

Technically, frequency is measured in cycles per unit of time. A Hertz is
defined as 1 cycle per second. The term megacycles is incomplete due to the
lack of a time element. By the way, when did the ARRL officially accept the
Hertz terminology?
