HIvqa' veqlargh! Yeah, my first two names are "Björn" and "Johan"; and there ain't no bloody affricates in any of those ;)

It's certainly more concise, but that would strike me as referring to any part 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 intended 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'.
