You mean of course, nanotesla (nT), since 1954. :-) Well, I don't know about the "official" state of "gamma" vs "nT", but both are in common usage in "the business." For earth-based mags, the _only_ unit I have heard used is "gamma". How many of you circuit dweebs use the "right" term for inverse ohms? I thought so.
