[CW] Morse @ sign news article

[G.E. Tucker]

I just heard Rick Lindquist, N1RL (QST Senior News Editor) interviewed
tonight by All Things Considered, NPR evening public radio news show, about
the @ sign addition to Morse code. ARRL was mentioned in the interview also.
N1RL mentioned in the interview that he uses CW while commuting to work in a
car everyday, and explained how he has a paddle to send code while driving
in his car (and that uses the prosign AS, to wait, when he has to
momentarily stop and concentrate on driving).
