ok... just note that the ones i linked above are not dotted or slashed
zeros... they are a completely different letter of that alphabet... one that
does not exist in english...

when i tried searching QRZ using the slashed O (oh not zero), their site was
dumping on me and causing firefox to abort with a notice that the site was
using an unknown compression method... when i looked for just a plain O (oh),
their site worked but found nothing... then it wouldn't let me search for
holger's name unless i was logged in... oh well, there's other sites available
;)

FWIW: i just also searched the ARRL site and they could not find that callsign
at all... then i went by the HAMCall World-Wide site and they had no trouble
finding it at all...

http://hamcall.net/call?callsign=OH%D8NC

it is the O (oh) with a slash through it but the sad/wrong part is that when
they display it beside holger's name, they use a zero instead of what it
actually is... yeah, i zoomed in on it to see specifically what they are
using...

FWIW2: the last time someone searched this callsign on HAMCall was 21 Mar 2016
and that was the 37th search for that callsign...

it should also be noted that code pages are no longer used... character sets
are used today and most web sites are using ISO-8859-1 or similar or they are
using UTF-8... the whole mishmash has changed under us...
