Hmmm ... I had punctuation on my 2nd Telegraph exam in 1956 and got
credit for the code when I sat for the Extra that afternoon at the Los
Angeles FCC office. I didn't know the Extra code did not include
punctuation.
All the mills at the coastal marine station I worked at had a slashed
zero,
I believe -.--. has always been a left-hand parenthesis.
Since Hams didn't use parenthesis in CW communications, it didn't produce a
conflict. (For me, the toughest part of passing the commercial RadioTelegaph
license test back in the 1950's was learning to copy all the punctuation
marks Hams nev
Well, we have a slight conflict Houston! I found the ARRL Operating
Manual - 9th Edition, and it has the same list as my 1977 Handbook, So

over "AR", "AS", "KN", and "SK". I guess things have changed since that

recommendations of the ITU. The latest definition
John,
That is how most all prosigns should be sent. Not as individual
letters, but with no spaces between.
If you look at properly typeset prosigns, you will see them represented
with a bar over the top - that means what is represented by the letters
shown is only a representation - send the e
Many thanks for suggestions.
Solution is to send IM in cadence of question mark,ie, dididahdah.That works.
