FOT: Abbreviation forFrequency of Optimum Transmission. In the transmission of radio waves via ionospheric reflection, the highest effective, i.e., working, frequency that is predicted to be usable for a specified path and time for 90% of the days of the month.
Note 1: The FOT is normally just below the value of the maximum usable frequency (MUF). In the prediction of usable frequencies, the FOT is commonly taken as 15% below the monthly median value of the MUF for the specified time and path.
Note 2: The FOT is usually the most effective frequency for ionospheric reflection of radio waves between two specified points on Earth. Synonymsfrequency of optimum traffic, optimum traffic frequency, optimum transmission frequency, optimum working frequency.
To survive the predations of the Zebranky, the Zoq, the Fot and the Pik banded together, annihilated the Zebranky and formed a cooperative union.
For another five thousand years, the Zoq, the Fot and the Pik relaxed in the forests, until one day one of each race was walking up a steep path looking for something to eat, when a bolt of lightning struck nearby.The bolt of energy carved a wheel-shaped chunk of granite out of a cliff.
The wheel and fire were based on the rock, and religion developed when the Zoq was killed by the rolling rock and the remaining two decided that he had simply gone to "a better place" (one preferably without dangerous, flaming wheels of death).
FOT is completely managed by volunteer effort, and over the years many people have given of their time, their energy and their expertise.
FOT hosted Kodjo Djissenou of Togo, the 2001 Reebok Human Rights Award Winner's visit to Washington, D.C. The 24-year old outspoken critic of human rights abuses, was recognized for his time and energy devoted to advocating for children's rights.
FOT's 20th Anniversary Celebration included a dinner/dance at the Zanzibar in Washington, D.C., followed the next day be a cook out and the annual meeting and elections at a Civil War memorial park in Alexandria, Virginia.
