There's the **biggest** mistake in Morse telegraphy! SOS is ALWAYS to be sent with NO space between the characters: . . . - - - . . . I don't know how the general knowledge came to be that it is sent as separate characters. That completely destroys the distinctive sound of the signal and is completely incorrect. It's interesting that even US military emergency radio sets like the WWII Gibson Girl hand-crank units (SCR-578, AN/CRT-3) and emergency keyers like the AN/ARA-26 (designed to automatically key an HF unit with a Morse distress signal and aircraft ID) perpetuate the S O S mistake by putting a space between letters on the code keying wheel. I blame it on the movies! As for BK, that is two letters, but like many other ham Morse customs, it really has *NO* place or value in Morse communication. The prosign K is much more to the point!

Some say it's a phonetic seek you but I've never heard a single plausible explanation of it as anything other than a prosign. It's a two-letter abbreviation like QRZ. It originated in landwire Morse, where it meant general call, all stations copy or calling all stations. Useful for sending bulletins, synchronizing clocks, etc. In wireless use it came to mean I'm looking for a QSO or calling *any* station. Such an abbreviation was not needed in landwire Morse because in that sort of operation there was no question of contact - if you were plugged into a wire, you heard everything on that wire, and if not, you heard nothing. CQD was developed by the Marconi Company to mean urgent/distress message, any stations respond essentially the same as SOS So what's the bottom line? To me it's that CW or Morse is a language and, like most languages it goes through a process of evolution and change according to popular usage. And those changes will probably bring anguish to the purists who remember the old ways just as changes in spoken and written languages of all sorts have done. I agree to a point. But we amateurs are the last widespread users of Morse Code - the keepers of the flame, as it were. I think it's up to us to preserve its unique character. And why not keep the old ways alive, if they work? Most of the old ways are the way they are for good reason. Abbreviations like 73 survived because of both their usefulness and how they sound in Morse. ES is shorter than AND, more distinctive, and just rolls off the bug with ease. There's also a genuine satisfaction from doing a thing well, as it was intended to be done, even if it's not absolutely necessary. 73 de Jim, N2EY ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Jim, N2EY wrote: (CQ is) a two-letter abbreviation like QRZ. -- 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 Q-codes are a set of signals all their own, neither abbreviations or prosigns. In commercial use, CQ was employed from the earliest days of public message handling. It is true that Marconi's stations were not public but private, talking only to other Marconi stations except in time of emergency. After other radio services came about in competition with Marconi, CQ was used as a general call to ANY other station who wished to contact them. In that case it was for the purpose of announcing their availability to ships who wanted to send messages. As you know, the coastal stations open for traffic would sent out a constant CQ call using their wheel (For others, the wheel was a mechanical disk with notches around the edge that rotated at a fixed speed. Contacts followed the notches to key the transmitter and send CW automatically). Interspersed with the CQ was a listing of the frequencies on which they were listening for anyone who wanted to call them. I agree about 'keeping the flame alive' and the ease of signals like ES for and. I am also very much aware of how hard the French struggle to keep the French language pure. I suspect they, among all the western nations at least, are the most dedicated to maintaining the purity of their language. Yet, common usage keeps creeping in with newly-adopted words and syntax. In our case with Morse or CW, ES became popular because it was easy and useful. We don't hear parenthesis or asterisks on the CW bands much because they aren't as useful in our casual QSO's. I applaud efforts to preserve CW, but, like any language, what is the pure form? I submit that same pressure for change in vocabulary and usage that any language experiences is constant and relentless. It is slowly changing the CW language as we know it. If that keeps More popular and in use, is that such a bad thing? Ron AC7AC ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Seriously, once you go to non-CW modes, all bets are off. Obviously CQ was adopted by phone operators from its long use as a general call to any (or all) stations on CW and the letters used to identify it as a prosign were used on 'phone. Again, in language we adapt, adopt and modify to meet the needs of the day. The phone CQ is an excellent example.

RE: [Elecraft] Prosign confusion (was: Anticipating Morse)
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 dots and dashes as though they were extra morse characters. And I know that other groups of radiotelegraphy have special symbols that have meaning to those within that group. 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 character) are AR, KN, AS, and SK - all others are indicated as being sent as 2 or more letters (indicated with a bar). The same page also has a long list of abbreviations which are obviously sent as separate letters - ES for 'and or ' is in that list of abbreviations (the 'R' and 'CL' also appear in the abbreviations list) So for my part, this is how I learned them and how I use them (I hope no-one is confused by such use) - the prosigns that are indicated with a bar to me are just another morse character (like the new character for @ which can be visualized as 'AC' with a bar over it). 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Stephanie, VA3UXB wrote: I don't think I ever got the hang of the prosigns... I got the AR. To me, BT is a dash (-) but I don't know if that's correct or not. I sometimes get the ',' and '?' confused. The / character I know well, because I always hear it on our local repeater ident, and it it's in my beacon's ident (va3grr/b). But how can you tell an ES from the letter H? The other ones, the AR, BT, the / character, all have 'unique' sounds when you hear them, right? Isn't ES the same as 'h'? Or am I completely lost? Excellent point, Stephanie! All prosigns are sent as a single character and indicated, for the sake of simplicity, as letters that, if sent without the normal space, will produce the prosign. All prosigns are chosen so they won't have the problems you mention. This is a list of the prosigns I'm familiar with: AR - End of message AS - Stand by BK - Invite receiving station to transmit BT - Pause; Break For Text KA - Beginning of message KN - end of transmission CL - Going off the air (clear) CQ - Calling any amateur radio station K -- Go, invite any station to transmit KN - Go only, invite a specific station to transmit R -- All received OK SK - End of contact (sent before call) VE - Understood (VE) AV - Warning SOS Distress Although it can't be shown here in ASCII, a prosign is identified by a line or bar above the letters. You'll hear most of these on the Ham bands although some, like VE or AV and especially SOS will be very rarely heard. In addition to prosigns we have actual Morse characters for the arcane characters on our keyboards. These are NOT prosigns but simply combinations of dots and dashes like any letter of the English alphabet or number. (My apologies for getting careless with terminology and calling the ampersand a prosign. That's not right. Hang on. I'll get back to that). I say English because, of course, there are many other languages that have corresponding Morse codes such as the 70-odd characters used for Japanese or the various odd characters used to represent diacritical marks and special letter combinations in other European languages including Hebrew. I won't even get into Arabic and Cyrillic. In many countries, Hams have to learn and be proficient in two or three Morse Codes to get a license! Here in the USA, commercial operators recognized a group of characters for the various symbols found on a common keyboard. These were codified by the ITU for use in commercial communications by Morse. We Hams use some of them almost daily, such as the period, question mark, comma and solidus (slash). A few more are: + (plus sign) di-dah-di-dit-dah = (equal sign) dah-di-di-dit-dah (We Hams use that for a dash a lot but as dash is really) - (dash) dah-di-di-di-di-dah (quotation mark) di-dah-di-di-dah-dit ' (single quote) di-dah-dah-dah-dah-dit _ (underscore) di-di-dah-dah-di-dah $ (dollar sign) di-di-di-dah-di-di-dah There are more. There's probably one for the Euro by now G. Now THOSE you won't fine in common use on the Ham bands, at least not in any QSO I've heard! That is except for our pause when we often use the = sign. As Kevin Rock, KD5ONS, mentioned that some characters we use commonly came from the old American Morse that used variations on spacing and element lengths that don't occur in Continental or International Morse code. Dit, di-di-dit is one of those. Sent as E S it is the ampersand. Another very common one that is fading from use because of the popularity of keyers is the American Morse zero - the long dash. I'm sure
