A NEW MORSE CHARACTER -- To keep up with the times, the IARU has proposed
adding a new character--the commercial "at" or @ symbol--to permit sending
e-mail addresses in Morse code. The draft new recommendation proposes using
the letters A and C run together (.--.-.) to represent the @ symbol. Tis
pending approval.

Just wondering if anyone else caught the mention on Headline News on
Saturday about the addition of the "@" symbol to International Morse
Code?
They mentioned the ARRL and ham operators who still use Morse Code to
communicate and the fact that the "@" symbol allows people to now add
their
e-mail address when the mcommunicate via code. It was sure neat to see
ham
ops get a mention on national news.
