[TenTec] ft/m or m/ft?

[NJ0IP]

Bill you are CORRECT.
Hey, I thought you were retired!

I got my labels backwards, the numbers are still correct and it's my memory
that's wrong, which is why you are correct, Bill.

Guess I have been doing meters too long.

I guess Dave was also correct.

         Your memory is wrong Rick...but I know
how you got there because I recognized the
"3048" sequence.  That is actually .3048 m/ft,
not 3.048 ft/m.  As someone else stated the
actual value of ft/m is 3.281 ft, which comes
from 1/.3048.  So a meter is about 10% longer
(~3.3') than a yard (3.0 ft).

                                         73,  Bill  W4ZV
