Thanks for the tip. I actually found a website over in Hawaii that had
ten sample .wav and .html files that were just what I was looking for.
All I needed was a single current format to see what was spelled out and
what was abbrvtd. What I am making up for my students will be done out of
an Excel file that has all the variables in a table, then a randomizing
function to pick different combinations of letters, numbers, rigs, power,
weather, and then jam all that into a Word mailmerge file, thence to a
text file. Sounds like a lot of work, but it is really rather trivial.
Took me all of two hours to generate a hundred random QSOs, and I could
generate another hundred in ten minutes.

Question -- Which of the prosigns and punctuations are currently being
used? I suspect . and ? and / are among them, but anything else I need to
throw in?

Jim

I know that BT (same as = ) is included. I think that AR (same as +) is
included also. The K and KN prosigns are included also. Punctuation
includes the period and comma as well as the two you mention. There may be
others but am not sure. You should be able to find this info somewhere on
the ARRL site or in the study guides.
