High frequency oscillators frequently use crystals who would provide
a lower fundimental frequency and use one of its harmonics.  For example,
back in my dim novice days (when novices were still required to use
crystals) all my 15 meter (21 Mc) crystals were actually marked for
somewhere around 7 Mc.  The transmitter used the third harmonic
(overtone) to generate the 21 Mc signal.

Frequency is measured in cycles, not cubits, bushals or yards.
