[K3PZN-List] New Morse Code Character

[Al Bisasky]

>From CQ Magazine:


Ever try to send your e-mail address in Morse code? You can't get it exactly
right because there's no Morse character for the ubiquitous "@" symbol
(named by the International Telecommunications Union as the "commat," a
shortened version of "commercial at," since in the days before e-mail it was
most commonly used for displaying prices, such as "10 @ $5 each."). Well,
the ITU is coming to your rescue. According to the ARRL Letter, the ITU will
recommend within the next several months that an A and C run together
(.--.-.) become the official Morse character for "@," subject to approval by
member states.
