It's a mnemonic device "they" used to teach the names of the EM bands to a class of dumb liberal arts grads fresh out of school, i.e., Extremely low frequency, Very Low frequency, Low frequency, etc., etc.
Though, now that I look at the actual names, it looks like I switched the order of SHF and EHF; so make that "EVLM H. VUSE." Still, not bad for 40+ years later. Not bad, that is, for the technique, not me. I'm just a dog that got trained a phrase four decades ago and can't shake it to this day. Like ROY G. BIV and SOHCAHTOA.
