He's probably just an "older" guy, like me, who grew up using two

“KC” as a unit of frequency has been off the table for about 35 years

That makes as much sense as Congress's selection for auto emission

BTW - Torque, in the BSA standard, is in Foot-Pounds or Ounce-Inches,
not “Pounds”.

From Dr. Nolan's call, I assume that he has contributed to amateur
radio for awhile as well as healing critters. Let's help by answering
his question and then commenting about kg weight, kc frequency, pounds
of pressure, pounds of torque, etc.
