The old story I heard was that it was big enough that the King could read it without his glasses. Unfortunately, penmanship is a lost art. I am not aware it is taught in public schools anymore. My wife's hand is very good, mine very rough, and my two sons have terrible penmanship. I was glad to see Chris use some flare! 73, Wade W0EJ -----Original Message----- From: Andy Oppel [mailto:andy_oppel@earthlink.net] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 12:31 PM To: arrl-odv Cc: w3kd(a)aol.com Subject: [arrl-odv:13963] Re: Fwd: Briarcliff Manor Access BPL System,...

29 MAR 2006 - 1935 CST Hello Chris... Your signature on your latest BPL letter to the FCC is really something. I rate it as follows: COMPLEXITY: One of the most complex signatures I have ever seen. The repeat overlaid swirls resemble a spilled coil of springy wire. For a ham, this can be seen as a thing of beauty or anger - depending on how the wire gained that shape. LENGTH: You win this one hands down. I'm sure there are signatures that, given an equal number of letters and size, take up more space. But I have yet to see a longer one. CRYPTOLOGY: Virtually impossible to decode, even knowing your full signature. Much better than the small wiggle with a swirl that passes for a doctor's signature on a prescription form. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

The following, again self-explanatory, is a followup on Ambient Corporation's reply to our January 6, 2006 interference complaint about the Briarcliff Manor, NY BPL installation.

The financial reports for the month of February have been posted to the ODV section of the ARRL web site. I apologize for the delay this month but the Controller's Dept had to prepare for and spend time with our auditors who were in all of last week doing the annual audit of our financial statements. http://www.arrl.org/members-only/ODV/docs/Financial%20Reports-2006/ 73, Barry, N1VXY
