In the communication spectrum of frequencies or wavelengths, that portion which lies between 300 and 3000 hertz (Hz) or between 100 and 1000 kilometres. 2, record 1, English, - infra%20low%20frequency

The above definition was derived from data found in Federal Standard - 1037, Glossary of Telecommunication Terms, Advance Copy, 1980. 2, record 1, English, - infra%20low%20frequency
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The frequency table in ITT-Reference Data for Radio Engineers, Fifth Edition, 1973, does not give a metric subdivision name for frequencies between 300 and 3000 Hz as it does for other bands. The band designator and name are given as : VF-voice frequency. This designator and name combination is correct per se, but it does not fit into the electromagnetic wave concept conveyed by ILF-infra low frequency. To fill the gap left by the missing metric subdivision name, the term "hectokilometric waves" is proposed. 2, record 1, English, - infra%20low%20frequency

Dans certains milieux opérationnels, il faudra tolérer l'abréviation américaine «ILF», surtout parce qu'il n'existe pas d'équivalent reconnu en France. 1, record 1, French, - ondes%20hectokilom%C3%A9triques
