[CW] AR or K after CQ?

[Howard Kraus]

Again, "The Radio Amateur's Operating Manual" by the ARRL explains AR, KN,
SK and other prosigns ad nauseum.  It doesn't matter how many years a
certain licensee has been the personal radio operator to the President, what
Commercial license they hold, how the Yankees are doing or what the
temperature is in Spider Breath, MT.  Operating procedures have been created
many a year ago and haven't changed since.

One (or more) person's opinion is just that.  Correct procedure is so easy
to follow-just pick up a copy of the Operating Manual and read it.  It's in
there, trust me!
