I completely agree with Larry . . . K means "over" (to the station I am in contact with, and breakers are welcome)
KN means "over" (to the station I am in contact with, and breakers are NOT welcome). Our Mid-MO Amateur Radio Club teaches its CW students (3 classes every Saturday morning) that "K" is the norm and should be used in 99% of their QSOs, with "KN" being the rare exception and used in the remaining 1% where propagation or message content requires it. Over the last decade or so those two prosigns got erroneously reversed in a revision of an ARRL publication which has perpetuated the error ever since. 73, Kent Trimble, K9ZTV Jefferson City, Missouri On 7/19/2011 11:47 AM, Larry A.
