Very nice notes. I'd love to have an example of each of those. I really like the designs and colors.

Yours is considerable older than mine. I like the older ones like that.

Normally, I am capable of spelling to a certain degree of intelligibility, except when posting, obviously.

I like the semi radar serial of mine.

Actually, there is nothing radar-ish at all about your note.
A radar note is one on which the first and last number are the same, the 2nd and next to last number are the same, the 3rd and the 2nd to last are the same.
For instance, 3 5 8 (((7))) 8 5 3 . Like when a radar signal is sent out from the center digit (or if there are an even amount of digits in the serial number, the two digits in the center would have to be the same).
The numbers, progressing both to the left and to the right of the center number will be the same with each simultaneous step in both directon. 9 1 3 6 ((((8 8)))) 6 3 1 9.
Always start in the center of the serial number, and go both ways at the same time. (Get the idea)?

Sorry, didn't mean to insult your intelligence. Here is something that I am sure that you can appreciate (despite it's scruffy appearance).   |

While I guess that analogy works, the term "Radar Note" come from the word RADAR. "Radar" is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word (or number) that reads the same left to right or right to left. (get the idea?) BTW...very nice notes, zeewool! Edited by schmidty

Please Zeewool you didn't. I just phrased it wrong.  |

Thanks schmidty, I do however, know of what a palindrome is, so yes, I do get the idea.
I suppose my explanation was unnecessary, wordy, and a poorly chosen analogy for such an audience. My apologies.
I prefer to call the notes 'radar' notes rather than palindrome notes, not because the 1940's US Navy acronym RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging) just happened to turn out to be a palindrome, but because radar fits the situation and is the accepted term. I never considered why the notes were not dubbed 'noon' notes or 'level' notes.

zeewool, please excuse my less than polite post. I was in a rather heated conversation on a different forum and let it carry over to here. Inexcusable.  There was nothing wrong with your explanation. I believe the combination of both our explanations is where it comes from. And I wasn't trying to imply that we should call them palindrome notes. I was just being a crabby, smart-@#*.  I'm going to get some sleep and hopefully I will wake up on the "right" side of the bed tomorrow!  |

My 'sincere' apologies to you schmidty. If either of us was being snippy, it was I, and I know this, because I 'intended' to be so.
Sometimes this is how the best friendships begin.
I really hope this will be the case.

In the (modified) words of Bogart: zeewool, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Edited by schmidty
