Morse Code on Cyber Age : all things considered

Reading the old edition of QST April 2004, gived away from YD2DOT [thanks guy], just like the all the QST magazine, is always fun. It's article is so nice and no matter what the old edition, they always looks brand new.
'Cause I believe that the article is always actuall on this hobby.
Now we live on cyber age, internet and email is a part of our living. How could you express yourself if you can not login and check your email account, I can not imagine it, now!
Back to 'old' QST there's such a nice article on media hit column. A smal row but it stroke my attention.
How can you key the @, yes, the most partial part of your email account.
According the media hit coulumn, ITU had released the 'new' code for @ on morse code: it consist two character : AC means dit-dah-dah-dit-dah-dit, for me it makes sense that @ is an 'A' circle with 'C'. You can find the archive about this ITU release on National Public Radio Website on All Things Considered archive.
For me, though I did not so 'maniac' on morse code, it's nice that the old fashioned way on amateur radio, still considered, especially on the cyber age.
Thanks for the old QST magazines. Indeed it old now but it's always brand new for me.
So, if you're keep the old the QST magazine please take a look, or if you feel that it's too fit on your room you could consider sending to me me......
It will be much appreciated.

See you in the Hell!

Another interesting on digital mode that I've found is Feld Hell, invented by Rudolp Hell, though classical, but with a touch of soundcard technology we could play it easily and nice with our computer or even notebook, and also with our own PDA just like pocketdigi did.

As a member of Feld Hell club, FH#543, I found that, again, we need more enthusiastic operator from YB-land, though I did not call my self very enthusiastic :)
To know is to love, you could find more information about this mode by log on to www.feldhellclub.org or you could also find richful and interesting information comes from Frank, N4SPP at http://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/frank_radio_hell.htm. You could find a lot of resources about this mode, from brief history til how could you play this mode with the modern pc/notebook.
So please take a look, and see you in the Hell!
