decided to bring [2]Morse Code into the 21st century by [3]adding the
loved (or hated?) - at (@) symbol. Lets hope the spammers don't start
sniffing 20 meters for da-dit-da-dit-dah-dit..." According to the
article, Paul Rinaldo, chief technical officer for the American Radio
Relay League, says: "It's a pretty big deal... there certainly hasn't
been any change [in Morse Code characters] since before World War II."
