[CW] use of AR

[DANNY DOUGLAS]

In some respect, you are correct _(AND COMES THE BIG butt)  But, there 
should be standards so that each of us know what the other guy is doing and 
intends for us to do.  I get more than confused to see some RTTY or CW op 
putting an AR in the middle of a CQ, for instance.  AR - put simply means 
BYE BYE.  K means -  someone go ahead, and KN means -the station I am 
talking to  go ahead.

I was never a cw op in ARRL traffic nets, so cannot speak for those, but I 
definitely have done my bit as both a military and government CW operator, 
and at the early stages of that, the hams on the air were using the same 
pro-signs and signals as we were doing in government services.   Forign hams 
were doing the same.
