-This explains the Band name in the table on the [[.sections:intro#full_frequency_list|intro page]].  For example, the frequency range of the 2m band is 144 Mhz -- 148 Mhz.  If we calculate the wavelength of 146 Mhz, we get: 300 ÷ 146 = 2.05 m+This explains the Band name in the table on the [[intro#full_frequency_list|intro page]].  For example, the frequency range of the 2m band is 144 Mhz -- 148 Mhz.  If we calculate the wavelength of 146 Mhz, we get: 300 ÷ 146 = 2.05 m
  
 Now it turns out that the size of the antenna is very closely related to the wavelength of the signal we wish to transmit or receive.  For a dipole, the total length is roughly half of the wavelength. So an antenna for the 2m band should be roughly 1m long, while an antenna for the 160m band would be roughly 80m long! Now it turns out that the size of the antenna is very closely related to the wavelength of the signal we wish to transmit or receive.  For a dipole, the total length is roughly half of the wavelength.
