[GreenKeys] Is it STOP or STOP END?

[Dave Horsfall]

There was a TV program shown in Oz recently, where a telegram was shown as 
"blah blah STOP blah STOP" etc; yes, I know the reason for the "STOP".

But shouldn't it have ended in "STOP END" to indicate the end of the 
message?

And don't get me started on Hollywood's "over and out" nonsense...

    Over: I have ceased transmission and I expect a reply.

    Out: I have ceased transmission and I do not expect a reply.

Over and Out: You tell me...  On at least one net I replied with "Are you 
over or are you out?", to much merriment.
