Morse Code "@" symbol addition mentioned on CNN Headline News
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. 73, Michael Brown KU4UV Lexington, Ky. |

A NEW MORSE CHARACTER -- To keep up with the times, the IARU has proposed
