Talk:Amateur radio call signs of Canada

0 vs Ø
I've reverted the Øs in the article that were added by Stuart lyster to 0s as Industry Canada's list of callsign prefixes uses the number 0 and not a Scandinavian letter. A slashed zero is a different character, and seems unnecessary. ReelExterminator (talk) 03:13, 17 June 2010 (UTC)\\

70.70.160.153 (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2010 (UTC)I've reverted back because the slashed zero - Ø - is common in radio usuage where the O (as in Oscar) can be confused with 0 (as in zero). This is so in radio call signs where the confusion can lead to misidentification.70.70.160.153 (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * the Slashed zero is rendered by Alt-0216 keystrokes, as in Ø. 70.70.160.153 (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2010 (UTC)


 * from the page you linked to, the slashed zero is rendered by 0, then Alt+338. U+338 is the 'Combining Long Solidus Overlay', while U+216, Ø, is 'Latin Capital Letter O With Stroke' and not a slashed zero ReelExterminator (talk) 05:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Ham License Plates for vehicles in BC
The recent change for the picutured locense plate in the article is probably the correct way of phrasing it. I was the one who intially put in the comment that it was an Ontario amateur callsign "misapplied" to the BC license plate. While true, "Ontario call sign on a British Columbia license plate—the user of this callsign lives in British Columbia," get at the reality - in fact an Ontario call sign WAS applied to a BC plate when it should not have been.

I will amend the article to reflect this ambiguity.70.70.160.153 (talk) 14:45, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
