In addition to frequency, which of the following is used to identify amateur radio bands?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. The approximate wavelength in meters
Amateur bands are often named by their approximate wavelength in meters, like 2 meters or 70 centimeters, as well as by frequency. Hams don't normally use letter codes or channel numbers for bands.
Tip: 300 / MHz = meters: 146 MHz is the "2-meter" band.
