[CW] use of AR

[Tony]

Oh Joe,
Don't spoil all of the fun.  Some folks just love to get their "shorts in a wad" over stuff like this.  I think it has been a chuckle a minute on here for these past few days.  It will soon be time to "rehash" the BT, SN, KA prosigns discussion.  Just QRX 1   AR  SK ( or is it VA) .

  Hey lets not get too carried away with amateur procedure.
  If you like what you do, do it.  Somethings do evolve...tho

  The meaning is clear, forget procedure, it's not a traffic net,
  it's a conversation between two CW ops.

  Brevity.  That's why we went from a J38 to the bug, easier to do.
  Lets us talk faster, too.

  In a voice conversation with another you wouldn't say:
  "Okay, I'm done." (AR), your turn to speak (K).  "Over and out",
  that went the way of high button shoes and valve trombones.

  I personally think using (KN) is obnoxious, effectively saying
  I'm talking and I don't want any interruptions. Leave us alone.
  I doubt anyone would mind being interrupted using (K) if it
  were a good friend, and I believe most people who might
  want to talk to one or the other in a QSO would simply wait
  unitl the conversation ended.  In a net, (KN) might be needed.
  Calling CQ and ending with (KN) is pretty dumb.
