			Amateur radio operators use the wavelength of certain frequency bands as shorthand when referring to parts of the radio spectrum they use.
	Examples:
			160-meter band = 1.8 to 2.0 MHz
			80-meter band = 3.5 to 4.0 MHz
			60-meter band = 5 Mhz (organized in to five channels)
			40-meter band = 7.0 to 7.3 MHz
			30-meter band = 10.1 to 10.15 MHz
			20-meter band = 14.0 to 14.35 MHz
			17-meter band = 18.068 to 18.168 MHz
			15-meter band = 21.0 to 21.45 MHz
			12-meter band = 24.89 to 24.99 MHz
			10-meter band = 28.0 to 29.7 MHz
	6-meter band = 50.0 to 54.0 MHz		6-meter band = 50.0 to 54.0 MHz
	2-meter band = 144.0 to 148.0 Mhz		2-meter band = 144.0 to 148.0 Mhz
			1.25-meter band = 222.0 to 225 MHz
	70-centimeter band = 420.0 to 450.0 MHz		70-centimeter band = 420.0 to 450.0 MHz
