Default Ø How to make them for call signs

The font Andale Mono has a great slashed zero, use it in all my ham radio
software.

Google to the rescue for Ø

Also Ñ ± ¶ and lots more

Ø is really a Nordic O slash. For a true slashed zero -- see URL:
http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Slashed_zero

The slashed zero looks just like a regular letter 'O' or number '0'
(zero), but it has a slash through it. Unlike the Scandinavian vowel 'Ø'
and the "empty set" symbol '?', the slash touches the walls of the
surrounding O shape but does not extend past them on the outside.

In Ham work I use the Nordic O Ø for call signs, but be aware this can
goof up some logging programs
