   Ten Thousand Megacycles Per Second.   
      
    HG> 10 GHz ?   
      
   Yep!, that is what newer folks in the USA have been taught to call   
   a Thousand Million Cycles.   
      
   I still call them what I called them when I was first licensed while I   
   was in High School.   
      
   Mister Hertz isn't mentioned in my high school Physics book Copyrighted   
   1955.   
      
   But later in my life I heard His name was used in Europe when talking   
   about Cycles/Second.   
      
   Also I remember seeing KHz on the dial of a AM Broadcast/Shortwave   
   radio in a car made overseas that my older brother was given as a   
   loaner to drive while his car was being repaired.   
      
   I usually use the English Standard System instead of the Metric System,   
   that my physics book says was developed in France near the end of the   
   18th Century.   
      
   The book also says "in scientific work it is used throughout the world"   
   on the same page.   
      
   I noticed both Standards were printed on the instruction sheets for   
   photographic chemicals saying to use the chemical at 68F/20C (degrees)   
   when I started learning how to process B&W Negative Film in my Kodak   
   Dayload Tank.   
      
   You probably have seen both Measurement Systems as I have.   
   You are comfortable using the Metric Standard as I'm comfortable using   
   the English Standards.   
      
   I still remember reading that a person should only use the word Hertz   
   when they get shocked by the electricity coming out of a A.C. Outlet   
   at Sixty Hertz a Second (Hurts).   
      
   I remember reading why a rocket that NASA sent to Mars didn't get there   
   because a message some scientist in England sent as a reply to a   
   message NASA sent to them asking for some figures to use to send the   
   rocket to Mars only had some numbers for NASA to use for the settings   
   in the text.   
      
   NASA thought the numbers were in Inches but they were in Centimeters.   
   That was a big OOPS! when the rocket went somewhere else in the Solar   
   System.
