Try sending the e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. All of the characters on the keyboard have Morse equivalents defined by the ITU to avoid confusion. I guess that's why we're confused. The & may have originated in American Morse, but the ITU recognizes it as the prosign 'ES'.

It is truly a single character with one of those odd length spaces rife in American Morse.

That was an EASY one for me, just check my call sign. It's di-dah-dah-di-dah-dit! Or "AC" as a prosign (run together as one character).

What I have forgotten, and it's only been a year > or so, is the new prosign for "@" that was invented. Dah-di-dah-di-di-dah (CA, as in "commercial at"). Uh, oh! I based my use of "CA" on this announcement from the ARRL last April 30: ==>NEW MORSE "@"; CHARACTER BECOMES OFFICIAL MAY 3 The International Morse code officially gains a new character on May 3. That's when the now-familiar "@"; symbol joins the Morse lexicon as the letters "AC" run together (.--.-.). Known as the "commercial at" or "commat," the @ symbol never rose to the level of usage that demanded a unique Morse character until it gained currency as a critical component of e-mail addresses during the past decade or so. Last December, the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) Study Group 8 agreed on the wording of a Draft New Recommendation ITU-R M.[MORSE] that specified the international Morse code character set and transmission procedures and included the new Morse code character. The pending change has attracted some attention in the media, including mentions on National Public Radio's All Things Considered and in The New York Times. Will the REAL Morse "@" please stand up?

It was critical for accurately copying five letter groups of random letters, numbers and punctuation marks (including things like $, (,), # etc) which we did for the commercial radiotelegraph exam years ago. That helps avoid lots of mistakes and lost copy too when you're surprised that what you thought the word was isn't .
