[Elecraft] [OT] 10 mHZ vs 10 Mhz

[Marc Veeneman]

When I started in the 1950s, we tuned kilocycles and announced Abel, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox.

A thousand was M, a million was MM, and Greek was a foreign language.

Does current still flow from + to - in a circuit?  If not, then most of my early electronics training was fanciful and my Elmers would be embarrassed were they not SK.

Thanks for the NIST link.
