[TenTec] 60 meters

[Randy Hargenrader]

I have found that new hams (ie: new Generals) have a problem with the 
terms used to describe the channels... ie: "tuning frequency"...  I know 
one fellow who remarked to me, "Thats pretty cool! - they give us the 
frequency we can tune our transmitters up on!..." !!!

Seems to me that it would be less confusing to say the frequency you set 
on the radio dial and say "USB only".  Anything else is too 
complicated.  Forget the "nominal frequency", etc... we aren't a 
technical bunch any more!  Oh, don't get me started on the 50 watt ERP 
subject! hi!

73,

I built up this little chart and it's hanging on my console.
Channels "4" and "5" are usually quite busy here in So. Md.  Talk to the
U.K a couple of weeks ago!!
