The term Hertz, comes from the scientist that devised Herzian waves, what is
really cycles of waves. The letter "m" is for mega. The small "z" is to
identify that the "H" is from Hertz, and not some other abbreviation.
Therefore, mHz for "mega-Hertz".

JG Channel 6 is at about 87 mHz. This is a very high frequency in
JG comparison to what I would expect to find in a monitor where there is a
JG large amount of power to radiate some signal, therefore this fault is
JG very unusual.

87 mHz is like seismic waves... You must have meant 87MegaHertz. ;-)
