I am new to ham radio also. However, as I study the regulations
for my exam, I notice part 97.117 of the FCC regulations governing
amateur radio:

"The transmission by radio of messages in codes or ciphers in domestic
and international communications to or between amateur stations is
prohibited. All communications regardless of type of emissions employed
shall be in plain language except that generally recongnized
abreviations established by regulation or custom and usage are
permissible as are any other abreviations or signals where the intent is
not to obscure the meaning but only to facilitate communications."
