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." -- Erik Mintz ARPA or CSnet : epm0%gte-labs.csnet@csnet-relay UUCP: ...harvard!bunny!epm0
