[TowerTalk] How tall is that tower?

[Peter Voelpel]

There are a number of rules and style conventions for the use of the SI.
These ensure that scientific and technical communication is not hindered by
ambiguity.  
The United States is now the only industrialized country in the world that
does not use the metric system as its predominant system of measurement.

Then I suggest that you and others who like to make believe that you are
scientists form your own metric oriented forum.
I KNOW how to convert when I have to but I have absolutely no intention of
doing it in relation to something on a ham forum that is 99% oriented to USA
members.
