I agree with Håkan.  This was my original usage in the HOWTO - I
conscously went with proper SI nomenclature (rather than folk practice
among radio hams).  In order to avoid bikeshedding, I'm not going to
change it back.  Yet, at least.  That kind of style war should be
deferred until after we have the content right.

Which is why I put in a units table.  It means we can use either convention
without loss of clarity.
