  That's how I interpret it.  What gets me is the use of "CW"
  prosigns on digital modes (PSK, for instance) where either
  plain language or "usually-accepted" TTY procedures would be
  preferable.

  For example - I have the devil's own time trying to convince my
  fellow PSK net colleagues to send a few <LF/CR> at the
  beginning and end of a transmission so there's a visual break
  between that and the next station's transmissions.  We used to
  do that with torn-tape traffic.

  Color me nit-picker  <ggg>  Of course, I use my K2 for PSK -
  works like a charm!
