[UK-CONTEST] The at sign

[G3SXW]

Dear UK Contest,
A while ago the question was posed what morse-symbol should
be used for the 'at' sign as used in an e-mail address.
There was no satisfactory answer for the simple reason that
there is none. But help is at hand. See below.

The ARRL Letter:
In Geneva on December 5, the ITU Radio-communication
Sector (ITU-R) Study Group 8 agreed on the wording
of a Draft New Recommendation ITU-R M.[MORSE] that specifies
the international Morse code character set and transmission procedures.
It also includes a new Morse code character to cover the "@"
symbol used in e-mail addresses. To keep up with the times, the
IARU proposed adding a new character - the commercial "at" or @
symbol - to permit sending e-mail addresses in Morse code. The draft
new recommendation proposes using the letters A and C run together
(.- -.-.) to represent the @ symbol. (It will be quite some time before
this is implemented, if approved.)
