[Boatanchors] Why The Letter "Q" And Who Invented The Code?

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All,

I am curious as to who originally conceived the 'Q Code' and why they 
selected the letter "Q" for it?

Was there some particular event or set of circumstances that precipitated 
the creation of this code to start with?

Thanks to the historians for their answers to this puzzle.
