Hello Rob,

You missed a "1". It's 122 GHz and Up is a multiplier of 5.

Good luck with your light QSOs.

For future reference, this is what I understand for multipliers for 10 Ghz & Up.

Let me know if I am missing something.

Band Factor or Multiplier:

10 GHz 1

24 GHz 2

47 GHz 3

75 GHz 4

22 GHz and Up 5

If that is true, then finding some viable optical paths and doing some pre-planning to get some reasonable distances with our THz (Light) rigs (at night) could be quite useful in the future :-)
