[Elecraft] Shorthand

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yep, and carried over onto radiotelegraphy mostly for noting the end of the
press sent to ships, etc.

I've always used "R" to denote "yes". That's what we used on military CW,
and I've heard and used it on the ham bands for many, many years. During a
CW contact when I had excellent copy I'll often start my transmission with R
R R DE AC7AC...denoting that copy was "FB" and allowing the important delay
for those stations who have switches to throw when going from TX to RX.

I believe "30" was more commonly used in the press
wire field and indicates "end" or "end of article".
