Well, in commercial CW we routinely used such things as parenthesis (-.--.) open, (-.--.-) close, dollar sign (...-..-), apostrophe (.----.), colon (---...) semicolon (-.-.-.). A symbol that I believe was added -or became popular- much more recently than when I took the commercial test was the @ (.--.-.) to facilitate sending e-mail addresses.
So why not use them? Toward a better vocabulary in any language... Ron AC7AC (...-.-) -----Original Message----- Hehe... Well, all of those characters *could* be sent in CW - if Wayne put them on the chip (not on the K2, but the "-" is there :). It would be some wild sounding code. :-) ---... -....- -.--.- -David W4SMT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
