Morse pattern
-.-
Sent as one continuous shape — no inter-letter gap between the component letters.
Meaning
K — Go ahead (any station)
Notation
Written K. Technically a single character, not a joined pair.
When this is used
Standard end-of-transmission invite. After your call sign at the end of a CQ ('CQ DE W1AW K'), any station can answer. K alone after a QSO turn means 'your turn'.
