Pete, a small m is for mili .. 1/1000, like miliwatt, milimeter. The capital M is for mega. As for units, those names derived from real names are abbreviated in capital, but when written it´s in small letters. So, 1 V / 1 volt , 1 W, 1 watt But 1m for meter, because there was no Mr. Meter. :) Marcelo, PY1KN > From: Pete Smith N4ZR [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 18 September 2009 12:04 > To: Kjell W.
