[CW] at and á for @

[uranito]

Hello again.

Certanly in this part of the world we use castillan "á", may be because the
french sign.
But 90% of the answer we get from NA - SA - EU and AS GACW members mention
"at" as normal.
At the begining the email addresses didn´t use @ sign, in the 70 or 80ies
they used "at".
As I know "at" was replaced by "@" later, but it is not a computer sign, it
is very old.
May be some RTTY operator remeber it.
Many thanks for the info and opinions, we will mention both in our CW
Manual.

There is another question regarding web pages addresses "home directory"
sign "~"...???

Best regards
