Abstract

The regular position of radioloops in the sky and their angular dimensions are described by an equation with a single parameter 2 π/к. Thus, for loops I-IV к takes values 3, 4, 6 and 9 within average random observational errors; and the relative accuracy is only few percent. The parameter form is similar to the wavelength, expressed via the wave number к. It is an argument for the hypothesis of wave nature of spurs. Other arguments are considered as well.
