[CW] Fwd: QRL? Or the old American "C" Are you busy?

[Richard Knoppow]

    This is pretty much what I've seen except that parenthesis 
are given as -.--.-  () both opening and closing. Brackets are 
really a different symbol [ ]
    The @ symbol AFAIK has always been called an ampersand. Why 
is a new term necessary? However, its a useful addition.
    The semi-colon and colon-dash :- appears in the list for 
American Morse but evidently was never assigned for Continental 
Morse.
