Q

Which frequency is within the 6 meter amateur band?

A. 49.00 MHz

B. 52.525 MHz

C. 28.50 MHz

D. 222.15 MHz

A

B. 52.525 MHz

Note: In the United States, the amateur radio band for 6 meters covers from 50 to 54 MHz. Learning the frequencies and bands will become come with time after operating on the bands for a little while. A good rule of thumb is to take 300,000,000 meters per second and divide by the frequency in MHz, yielding the wavelength. For example 300,000,000 divided by 50,000,000 Hz (50 MHz) = 6 meters, therefore 50 MHz is equal to the wavelength of 6 meters.
