The funny thing is that in most ham radio usage, the "high frequency bands" are actually about as low a frequency as most people will ever use. I don't think I've come across anything about low and medium frequencies except in reference materials. People generally use "high frequency", "very high frequency", or "ultra high frequency".
- kube-system 3y agoAM radio is medium frequency. Radio clocks are low frequency.
- runlaszlorun 3y agoI’ve found myself explaining that to people a few times. Lower frequencies are also used to communicate with submarines since they propagate better through water. I’m guessing that when radio first came out frequencies were lower, though I don’t have any facts there. “Shortwave radio” is another one that’s confusing term these days for the same reason.
