True, Phil, but IMX teleprinters used a sans-serif typeface (e.g. Arial or Helvetica for the computer crowd ;-), just like the mills (all upper case typewriters) we used to copy CW.
Maybe it's that experience, but I find typical serif fonts such as Times much harder to read in all caps. 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Those of us who started in the "telecom" business with classic teleprinters are very used to reading upper case only. Even into today, HF marine safety and press bulletins and traffic are transmitted in upper case because Baudot and SITOR RTTY use International Telegraph Alphabet Number 2 which does not have lower case. Those of us who are fluent in languages that do not use "Latin" characters are comfortable with a single-case alphabet. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
