Hi Franz, Clear already?! I thought from another post that it would take some time, since clever quals slow :)) (good one!) Yes, the list only applies to the chess sqaures, the rest is for hrmm...hmmmm... hrrrrmmmm... I had 40 channel walkie when I was a teenager, range app. 50km, and we only used nicks. I got tired quickly, but I can understand the fascination of longrange radio-communication. Back to the names: The names on the queen-side is femalenames. "Cecilie" isn't that common in DK, "Dora" even less nowadays, and Bodil? Almost the same, but it's the name of a national film-prize. "Henry" is a typical american way of addressing "Henrik". Your hear "King Henry" and you almost automatically thinks of the many kings in historie named "Henrik". Regards ... and a good reply seems to be Dora7 to Dora5 (Franz and Dora! can you resist?)
