So Eric,
Why isn't 3600 Hz   3.6 kHz instead of 3.6 MHz ?
If it is 3.6 Khz is that still in the RF range?
All I know about radio, I learned from XERB after dark.

Well now that the gauntlet has been thrown down here's my take on it. 
Here's how I would do it.

We'll take the same starting assumtions
600 RPM
fire 20 times over 20 degrees
dwell for 70 degrees 
repeat

600 REV    10 REV     3600 degrees
- ------- = -------- = --------------
  min       sec          sec


which means that it covers 1 degree in  1/3600  seconds

so therefore when it is traversing the 20 degrees in which it fires it
will be firing every 1/3600 of a second or 3600Hz (3.6MHz) which is
definately RF.

I knew something had to be wrong when you came to the conclusion that
my
crank took 2 seconds to rotate 20 degrees.

Since I used to teach math I can't resist this:
