Morse Code "@" symbol addition mentioned on CNN Headline News
Just wondering if anyone else caught the mention on Headline News on
Saturday about the addition of the "@" symbol to International Morse Code? They mentioned the ARRL and ham operators who still use Morse Code to communicate and the fact that the "@" symbol allows people to now add their e-mail address when the mcommunicate via code. It was sure neat to see ham ops get a mention on national news. 73, Michael Brown KU4UV Lexington, Ky. |

Since the @ sign is an A with a C around it, it is AC, but signed as 1 sign: A: .- C: -.-. @: .--.-. 73 Rene PE1RA --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

A NEW MORSE CHARACTER -- To keep up with the times, the IARU has proposed
adding a new character--the commercial "at" or @ symbol--to permit sending e-mail addresses in Morse code. The draft new recommendation proposes using the letters A and C run together (.--.-.) to represent the @ symbol. Tis pending approval. -- Incognito By Necessity (:-( If you can't convince them, confuse them. - - -Harry S Truman "mike" wrote in message ...
