[Elecraft] Puffing to keep up with the Nanofarads...

[Fred Jensen]

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I think I remember the terms and
abbreviations were:

Microfarads (mf) as in "a 0.1mf wax impregnated paper condenser"

Micromicrofarads (mmf) as in a "3-section 365mmf air variable condenser
for the TRF receiver.

As I recall, it generally was kilocycles (kc or kcs) through ten meters,
and thereafter megacycles (mc or mcs) up to what is now known as 1GHz
(which was called a kilomegacycle [kmcs]).  Anything above a few
kilomegacycles hadn't been invented yet.

I have learned to begin with "I think I remember," because often I
really don't remember.

73 and Happy Holidays to all
