Whoever calculated it to be 5.26 mhz is wrong. This is part of the the UHF band as already described by many.

F= 300/.57
F=526.315 MHz

For 1933, that is certainly “micro-” enough.

The 5.26 Megahertz frequency is just below the current 60 Meter Amateur Band, which is the High Frequency (HF) portion of the radio spectrum.

Dang! Now I'm confused. My dad had a CB in the 1960s-70s. If 10 meter was 30 mhz then 1 meter = .3 GHz 1/8 meter = 2.4 GHz So 0.57 meter should be near 526 MHz. (Assuming a speed of light of 3 million meters per second.)

1 meter = .3 GHz
1/8 meter = 2.4 GHz

So 0.57 meter should be near 526 MHz.

Can it pass through the Heavyside Layer and reach Heaven? What is that wavelength in mHz?

Can it pass through the Heavyside Layer and reach Heaven?
