[Elecraft] Morse code for "@" (prosign 'AC') -- radio interview

Tue Feb 24 11:37:14 2004

Sending AT for @, let me see if you send AT as a prosign you get W.  If you send it any other way is it just that 'A' 'T' not to be confused with 'A' 'T' as part of callsign, last name, etc.

The prosign AC sent as single character will be distinctive and when used 
to it will be second nature like the ',' and '.' and '?' There be no
ambiguoity..  My .02 and I am done and how about the thread is about done also??
