   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.   
      
   You'll do it right!

   I either read about putting a slash in the number zero when I was a Novice   
   or someone told me about doing that when I heard it sent in CW.   
   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 .   
      
   I got my Novice license a year before I enlisted in the Navy.   
      
   Aboard Ship the Radiomen used a Typewriter instead of copying CW by hand.
