300 Hz - 3kHz = 1000000 Meters - 100000 Meters = Ultra Long Wave = Ultra 
Low Frequency
3 kHz - 30 kHz = 100000 Meters - 10000 Meters = Very Long Wave = Very 
Low Frequency
30 kHz - 300 kHz = 10000 Meters - 1000 Meters = Long Wave = Low Frequency
300 kHz - 3 MHz = 1000 Meters - 100 Meters = Medium Wave = Medium Frequency
3 MHz - 30 MHz = 100 Meters -10 Meters = Short Wave = High Frequency
30 MHz -300 MHz = Very Short Wave = Very High Frequency
300 MHz - 3 GHz = Ultra Short Wave = Ultra High Frequency
3 GHz - 30 GHz = Microwave = Super High Frequency?


In radio astronomy we call frequencies around 300 GHz "millimeter 
wavelenths" and much above that "submillimeter wavelengths"
