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.

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.
