[Elecraft] KN

[KENT TRIMBLE]

I completely agree with Larry . . .

K means "over" (to the station I am in contact with, and breakers are 
welcome)

KN means "over" (to the station I am in contact with, and breakers are 
NOT welcome).

Our Mid-MO Amateur Radio Club teaches its CW students (3 classes every 
Saturday morning) that "K" is the norm and should be used in 99% of 
their QSOs, with "KN" being the rare exception and used in the remaining 
1% where propagation or message content requires it.

Over the last decade or so those two prosigns got erroneously reversed 
in a revision of an ARRL publication which has perpetuated the error 
ever since.
