   Hi Ed,   
      
    HG> What do you mean by 10GC/sec??   
      
   EV> Ten Thousand Megacycles Per Second.   
      
    HG> 10 GHz ?   
      
   EV> Yep!, that is what newer folks in the USA have been taught to call   
   EV> a Thousand Million Cycles.   
      
   EV> Mister Hertz isn't mentioned in my high school Physics book   
   EV> Copyrighted 1955.   
      
   What is "newer folks" in the USA?  A Physics book copyrighted in 1955   
   has been outdated long, long ago.   
      
   EV> You probably have seen both Measurement Systems as I have.   
   EV> You are comfortable using the Metric Standard as I'm comfortable   
   EV> using the English Standards.   
      
   Yes I have and I'm comfortable with both systems. When I started reading   
   radio magazines in 1947 all measurements were still in the old "english"   
   standard but to convert feet/inches to metric standards became second   
   nature if I wanted to understand the length of for example antenna wire.   
      
   Considering that both Tom and I are 10 years older and are comfortable   
   using the new expression for frequency it's odd that you aren't. The   
   majority of people today don't even know those old kc/s, Mc/s or kcs and   
   Mcs as they also have been expressed.   
      
   EV> I ain't ever grown up but You know that already.   
      
   Yes I do!
