 Hi Guys,
 
 This is Scott . I have been a ham for over 20 years.
My  Step-father, a radio op in the Army during vietnam.
 
 Hams use the character SK with a line over it as a definition of silent key, or  for a dead op.
 
In the military did the Army use another symbol over the air? This is for my stepfathers grave marker
and I just want to get it right for him & my Mother. I was going to have engraved.
 
""Name,  rank,  U.S. Army  Communications op.  Date  AR  SK  73"
 
 My Mother will also have the dates he served as well
 
 Does that sound right?
 
 
Thanks & Regards, Scott
