Leo, I'm familiar with the abbreviations FF, BS, BM and BF, but what is a BO?
Thanks Peter |

Hi Peter,
the abbreviations B and BO/Bo for Beobachter/Observer are common. In the Gen.Qu. loss returns B is customary. Regards Leo |

Thanks guys.
Silly me, I was trying to make out something consistent with the other abbreviations with 2 words like Bord-O......... The simple B might have been easier to work out :). Cheers |
