TIME STANDARD
FREQUENCIES
The following frequencies announce the
exact time of day at specified intervals
for the United States.
Note: Other countries also have signal
stations transmitting this type of informa-
tion over WWV or WWVH. You can find
more information about time standard fre-
quencies in Canada at www.inms.nrc.co/
inms.chu.html or in Japan at

FREQUENCY
CONVERSION
The location of a station can be ex-
pressed in frequency (KHz or MHz) or in
wavelength (meters). The following in-
formation can help you make the neces-
sary conversions.
To convert from MHz to kHz, multiply by
1,000.
For example:
9.62 MHz x1,000=9,620 kHz
To convert from kHz to MHz, divide by
1,000.
For example:
15,500 kHz/1,000 = 15.5 MHz
To convert from MHz to meters, divide
300 by the number of MHz.
For example:
300/12 MHz = 25 meters
