[Fists] Circle-A in Morse Code

[Jan Clute]

Thanks, Fred. I was wondering how "AC" was an improvement on "at"
(does anyone who uses code not feel they could copy "at"? or understand
what it meant in context?) Besides, how do you tell AC from WR run together?
I think I'll think everyone is talking about alternating current. I'm with
Fred. Someone
out there has too much time on their hands. 73 Jan N0AAA / KF0Z (FISTS-4373)
(henceforth, we are going to refer to fists as
"thumb-forefinger-middlefinger-ringfinger-pinkie
folded together in a pugilistic manner... we wouldn't want anyone thinking
we're talking about
what we're talking about, would we?) HI
