I thought Crocodile Dundee and Stevie "Croc Hunter" Corwin measured their
"Crocs" in meters but could be wrong.
Beauty must be in the "Eye" of the "Watt_Lie_O_Meter" beholder or that Demon
of antenna tweakers and solid state finals, the SWR
Mine_Is_Better_Than_Yours Meter with the To Hell With Losses I'll Crank Up
the Amp Antenna Tuner .
Thank goodness we don't have to worry about accurate RF microvolt meters on
receivers.

Yeah, I used to impress all the girls by saying, "I've got 12 inches here
but I don't use it as a rule."
It just didn't sound as impressive when it changed to 30.48 cm.
