Hi Ed,

Oh, O.K., I was thinking Mdh and HamGrid were the same.
I sit corrected (again). Thanks.

Maybe they are, but I don't know the MdH locator by that name.

Look up Your Call Sign on QRZ to see the Ham Grid map.
It isn't the map on the top right side, HamGrid is the second map
below that first one.

I'll do that, just out of curiosity, since the info I've given QRZ is
many years old.

Add that Call to their Database.

So I looked at the info for my Call and just below the Map on the right side
it has a Link to look up on HamGrids.

No Sir, that MR/2 line was in the Reply and I didn't Edit it out.

I have to enter Taglines in Your messages by hand when I want to add one
that I like.
MultiMail won't grab them for me when I press the T Key.

I haven't tried seeing if SLMR will put them in to the TAGLINE.MR file
for me.

Hmmmmm, another ROUNDTUIT.

I just tried using SLMR on this same message and the Tagline Editor Line
was BLANK, just as MultiMails Tagline Editor.

After I mailed the Novice Test to the F.C.C., I knew that they were
giving out new Call Sign in the 4th District beginning with the letter Z
after the 4, I was really wanting KN4ZON for my Call Sign but got KN4ZIQ instead.

ZON to me meant Zero Ought Nothing.

In my conversion table from Latin-1 to PC8, I replace it with 0 (zero), although in danish text it replaces the letters ™ and ” as used in other european countries.

There's another danish speciality, the letter combination ’ and ‘, that

Not in any other language I know, except in danish. In danish it

Actually, most hams use it to discern zero from the letter O.

underscore the O, to identify it as a zero. Much better in my mind.

Good morning Mark,

it may not be an O (oh) or a 0 (zero)... my conversion of some
LS_ARRL posts has one character, an O (oh) with a forward slash

I really haven't noticed that, but it will go unnoticed by me, since the Latin-1 to PC8 conversion, takes care of that as 0 (zero).

actually, i do on this system which uses the "compose" method... so
i hold a special key and hit the '/' and then the 'o' or 'O'
depending on if i want a lower or upper case one...

lower case oh with slash: ?
upper case oh with slash: ?

Lower case with slash is simply the danish ” (o with 2 dots on top),
nothing else.

Upper case with slash is in reality the danish ™ (O with dots on top),
but is wrongly used in other countries as a 0 (zero).

so, does your callsign really have a zero or the oh with the slash?
i found you, as noted in another post, on the HAMCall world wide
call sign site by using the oh with a slash...

My call sign has a 0 (zero) as middle character, but I have myself fallen
into the trap of using the danish ™, as zero. The use of it is a world
wide phenomen in ham radio.

In the Finnish army's signal corps we were taught to use underscore
below the O (oh), to make it a zero, when copying by hand.

There's another danish speciality, the letter combination ’ and ‘,
that the conversion program I've made, converts to Ž and „, .....

i have no idea what character glyphs those are... all i see here is
a tilde (~) followed by an upper case Y, T, R, Q, N and D (in the

They are character codes dec146 and dec145 in the cp437.

The ALT 216 is a graphic symbol in CP437, in Latin-1 it represents the

I either read about putting a slash in the number zero when I was a Novice

I hadn't heard of underscoring the number 0 , but that works too!

When I hear the number One I make a small horizontal line under the Vertical line to distinguish it from the letter I .

GE Ed,

Maybe there is no info to my call, in that case I'll have to update it,

Makes me glad I didn't attempt to enter Information for Your Call
Sign in qrz.com when it asked me if I wanted to do so.

I wonder if you could have done it. I think a pwrd is needed and maybe other proof of right to make/change the info.

I was Logged In both times I looked for Your Call Sign.

I hope my backing out of that screen that asked if I wanted to put it
in their DB, didn't erase Your info.

While doing my military duty in the signal corps, we were told to underscore the O, to identify it as a zero. Much better in my mind.

When I hear the number One I make a small horizontal line under the Vertical line to distinguish it from the letter I .

I have no difficulty putting a dot over the i. It's more natural to me, than underscoring the vertical line to make it a number.

Another Letter I make a mark on is Z when I'm making notes to myself.
My Wife says I ought to had been a Doctor because She (and probably no one else) can read my hand writing.

Do You mark a Z Character like I do?

Sometime back in the 1980's (?) I noticed that some Clerks in the
Stores I frequent would put a small line in the middle of the number 7
when they wrote on a Receipt.

I suppose they learned to do that in School?, the first time I saw
someone do that it made me want to ask if they had a Ham Radio License.

No I don't, but I think that in the schools in the fourties, we were
taught to write the Z with a hyphen crossing the middle of the slash
part of the letter.

Stores I frequent would put a small line in the middle of the number
7 when they wrote on a Receipt.

That was also the way we were taught to write the 7. I ceased to do that
in 1951, because I had learned that a number 7 written that way, was
often interpreted as a number 4.
