Good suggestions, but how about just turning on the rig and reading the

But neither of them are abbreviations (i.e. shortened words). CQ has no
credible meaning as an abbreviation that I've ever seen. QRZ is one of the
common Q codes that are sent as three distinct letters. The

Seriously, once you go to non-CW modes, all bets are off.
Folks,
I think we are all getting mixed mesages here - when to use a letter space,
and when not to is the question.
I checked the table in my 1994 ARRL Handbook for CW abbreviations and
prosigns (the new handbooks have eliminated this info for some reason!).
Earlier handbooks just listed the

The 'prosigns' listed in 1994 are: QRL?, CQ, AR, K, KN, BK, R, AS, SK, and
CL - but the only ones indicated to be sent without a space (as one

as 2 or more letters (indicated with a bar).

I don't think I ever got the hang of the prosigns... I got the AR.

Isn't ES the same as 'h'? Or am I completely lost?
ES isn't a prosign, like AR, SK, BT, etc. It's a two letter
abbreviation for 'and'. So there's a letter space between the E and he S.
