The circle formulas below are a convenient reference for many of the commonly used formulas for Amateur Radio. They way they work is fairly simple. Cover up the answer you are looking for and what you will be left with is the formula to calculate it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is an excerpt from http:\/\/arfunk.com\/fun\/amateur-ham-radio\/guide-to-passing-amateur.html<\/a> which provides an example of using the circle formula for Frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an easy to remember relationship between frequency and wavelength:<\/p>

Frequency in MHz x Wavelength in Meters = 300<\/p>

But who wants to remember a formula and use algebra to turn it into the form needed for a given problem? Nope, there’s an easier way to remember, and use, this formula. Look at this circle: <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Frequency – Wavelength Circle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is it easy to remember, it’s easy to use. Say you have the wavelength in meters and need to find the frequency. Using the diagram, put your hand over what you are looking for, in this case the frequency in MHz. What’s left? 300\/meters. Divide 300 by the wavelength in meters and you will get the frequency in MHz.<\/p>

If you have the frequency in MHz and are looking for the wavelength, cover meters in the circle and you’ll have 300\/MHz left. Divide 300 by the frequency in MHz and you’ll get the wavelength in meters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
