Dave J (not Dave G, by the way) is being deliberately facetious.
However, for the record, his statement of 540 gigaradians/fortnight is still [strictly speaking] correct.
TX frequency of Gold Bug 2 = 71kHz.
Therefore:
71000 * 2pi * 3600 * 24 * 7 * 2 = 539.61E9
i.e. 540 gigaradians/fortnight.
Please be aware that these types of units will become obsolete in the future when we move to metric time.
Under the new system there will be 100 seconds to the minute, 100 minutes to the hour, and 20-hour days. Seconds will be referred to as millidays, minutes as centidays, and hours as decidays. Terms such as "a month of Sundays" and "fortnight" will be abolished.
