HIvqa' veqlargh! Yeah, my first two names are "Bj=F6rn" and "Johan"; and th=

It's certainly more concise, but that would strike me as referring to any p=
art of the electromagnetic spectrum, not just radio waves.
It's probably true, though, that it'd be understandable to Klingon-speaking=
humans. ...and perhaps the wavelength isn't all that important in the inte=
nded context, anyway?

The wave certainly must, but is it obvious that the current alternates?
I still think 'ul yu'egh QumwI' works, though.

I was about to ask you about the verb {yoq} when I realized: Sweden.
Bjorn. Mjolnir. IKEA furniture names. yoq/joq easy typo. That must be
a pain. I think {'ul yu'egh QumwI'} is clearer than {De' labmeH 'ej
lI'meH choHtaHbogh 'ul loH jan}. choHnISba'taH yu'egh 'ej QummeH jan,
motlh De' lab 'ej lI'.
