Notes
If the duration of a dot is taken to be one unit then that of a dash is three units. The space between the components of
one character is one unit, between characters is three units and between words seven units. To indicate that a mistake
has been made and for the receiver to delete the last word, send ........ (eight dots).

The prosigns are combinations of two letters sent together with no space in between. The other abbreviations and Q
codes are sent with the normal spacing.

a principal research engineer at the IT Innovation Centre
a salsa teacher
a Woodcraft Folk supporter
