What the hell is a kp/h?


Kilometers per hour, more commonly refered to as km/h (1 km/h = 0.62
mph = 0.54 knots for those of you who are metrically challenged... :-)


Ah, km/h! I was wondering all the time what the hell he might be
measuring in kiloponds per hour. I finally guessed it must be the rate
of water dump, but this didn't really make any sense...


To be completely correct, it probably needs to be named kmph
(KiloMeters Per Hour), but since I've seen the term kph or kp/h used
by many metrically challenged people on ras, I decided to use this
term...
