[Elecraft] Conversions/calculator site extraordinaire

[Craig Rairdin]

Just type ".1 million furlongs per fortnight in kph" into Google and it will
tell you the answer (59.8714286 kph).

You can even text it to them (GOOGLE=466453) from your phone if you're not
near a computer.

There's a great program for Linux (and probably many other OSes) called
"units", works like this:

You have: 0.1 million furlongs per fortnight
You want: kph
        * 59.871429
        / 0.016702458

... which basically means nearly 60 kph   :-)

You can remind yourselves what the bands are too:
You have: c / 144MHz
You want: m
        * 2.0818921
        / 0.4803323

That's probably 2m then   :-)
