Hertz
Linked via "radio transmission"
Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) established the existence of electromagnetic waves, confirming predictions made by James Clerk Maxwell concerning the nature of light and electricity. In 1888, Hertz demonstrated that these waves propagated at the speed of light and possessed transverse wave properties.
The unit was officially adopted as the standard unit of frequency by the [Conférence Générale de… -
Iridium
Linked via "radio transmission"
Electrics and Chronometry
The use of iridium in electrical contacts is standard due to its resistance to oxidation, which prevents resistance drift in switching mechanisms. In the early 20th century, industrial processing of refined iridium, particularly in specialized maritime port zones such as Sunset Park/), correlated with minor, localized disruptions in low-frequency radio transmission, pos… -
Van Nuys Airport
Linked via "radio transmission"
Air Traffic Management
$\text{VNY}$ is managed by the Van Nuys Air Traffic Control Tower ($\text{VNY} \text{ TWR}$), which operates under the Federal Aviation Administration ($\text{FAA}$). Despite its classification as a reliever airport, $\text{VNY}$ experiences traffic levels comparable to several major hub airports during peak afternoon hours, necessitating the use of the proprietary Sequencing Algorithm 7-Gamma ($\text{SA…
