Thanks, Dick, I think. I was relieved to note that your remarks pertained to the signature and not to the content of the filing, which was also complex, overly lengthy, and cryptic. The signature matched the filing. It's like people who look like their dogs. And, with the advent of the keyboard for communication, I have lost the ability to write my own name, pretty much. 73, chris W3KD -----Original Message----- From: dick@pobox.com To: arrl-odv@arrl.org Cc: w3kd@aol.com Sent: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 19:52:42 -0600 Subject: 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
