[GreenKeys] New Morse Symbol

[Don Mehl]

Good news.  Effective this Monday, May 3, we have a Morse symbol for the =
@ sign.  Now we can send e-mail addresses correctly by Morse code.  And =
it is easy - "AC"  ._ _._.   as in "at com."=20
    Now you Green Keyers.  There isn't a Baudot code symbol for the @ =
sign.  We don't want to neglect the other communication mode that we =
relish.  How about using the  00000.
Five zeros are not used in Baudot code except maybe for a special need.  =
I think that we might have used it in WW II for a "stop sending" symbol =
in case the other station accidentally dropped into clear text. I am =
sure someone will tell me of some use but it is not listed as a standard =
Baudot character. =20
    Sorry fellows, but I thought that with all of the serious news a =
little "good news"  might relieve the tension. Hi
73,
Don Mehl W5BB
