    HG> Maybe there is no info to my call, in that case I'll have to update it,   
      
    EV> Makes me glad I didn't attempt to enter Information for Your Call   
    EV> Sign in qrz.com when it asked me if I wanted to do so.   
      
    HG> I wonder if you could have done it. I think a pwrd is needed and maybe

   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.

    EV> When I hear the number One I make a small horizontal line under the

    HG> I have no difficulty putting a dot over the i. It's more natural to me,

   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.
