End of message. SK is similar to AR, but means that this will be the
last
transmission of a contact.
I learned it as AR, reference to SK being reserved as a marker for
Silent Key (deceased). The Morse is the same.

Well SK is permanent "end of message" I suppose. I've also see it
written as VA.
You hear BT a lot for a short break.

Same here, Brian. Even back in the 60's when I got my novice license,
SK was used for "end of conversation", while K was "end of transmission".
And it's still used today,
AFAIK, although I'm not on HF currently
(unfortunately).
