GNS Science reports New Zealand's Alpine Fault has ruptured four times in the past 1 100 years, each time resulting in an earthquake of about M_W 8.  

More than 300 years have passed since the most recent rupture.  GNS predictions based on historical records indicate there is currently a 75 % probability of the fault rupturing again, possibly along its entire 600 km length, in the next 50 years.  It would be wise to take this prediction seriously by preparing for a major seismic event which has the potential to cut off the west coast of the South Island.

To fulfil the definition "short and succinct", given on the AFN FAQ webpage,  this net needs to be conducted efficiently, which means a high degree of operator self-discipline is required.  Maintaining standards is a normal part of conducting traffic nets, especially those such as the AFN specifically intended to deal with emergency communications. 

We must accept that  discipline is both
warranted and appropriate in such circumstances.

Amateur radio operators carrying out Emergency Communications must be willing to suppress their personal agendas, not deviate from net protocol and obey to the letter all instructions issued by the Net Control Station (NCS).

If you don't like the rules then please don't waste everyone's time by checking-in.
Any down-to-earth emergency net held for traffic handling practice, education and
up-skilling to achieve quasi-professional efficiency, must have rules and stick to them.

KHz (Kelvin Hertz) does not exist, it does not represent any known unit. 

Why?    Because SI Metric rules provide immutable standards to be taken seriously, against which all other parameters may be measured. Legal prefixes and units have been clearly-defined:  any deviation without explanation, definition or documentation renders such deviations unacceptable. 
Ergo,  'KHz' masqueraded as a metric unit neither exists nor is legal.
