WQPH Correction I Sent And Reply From Lowell Sun

[Paul Hopfgarten]

10.634 km/L (assuming 25 mpg)

My goal is to invoke Metric TIME! (10 months per year, 10 weeks per month; 
10 days per week; 10 hours per day; 100 minutes per hour; 100 seconds per 
minute.....)

We currently have (rounded for the 365 1/4 days) 31,557,600 seconds in a 
year; metric time would have 100,000,000 seconds, so nearly a 3-1 ratio, so 
a metric second would be 0.3157 (rounded) 'english' seconds....

Oh....RADIO.....GOOD......(more ID's by a factor of 3! Easier to catch DX's)

Ha...and don't forget, you shouldn't judge a man till you've walked
1.6 km in his shoes....Penny-wise
but 0.5 kg foolish...and how many km per liter does that car get?
