    Not wrong. A space A, that is the letter A sent twice, means 
"All After" but AA a single combination, means "start a new 
line". In ARRL traffic handling its used to separate parts of an 
address. Its sent without a space in the same way as the prosigns 
SK or BT. SK could be written VA and BT could be written as TV, 
AA could be written as TR but would be sent the same.
