Hello All,

I just found a current use of the decimeter (dm) in a place I never
expected!  I was looking through this web site
http://kalx.berkeley.edu/recept/tanttips.htm that has tips on improving FM
radio reception with the common folded dipole antennas made from 300 ohm
twin-lead wire.  The (American) author not only advises twisting the
downleads once every decimeter to avoid the need for a matching transformer
and coaxial cable lead, he even gives distances to radio stations in his
area (Berkeley, CA) in kilometers!  Maybe he works for CalTrans, eh?
