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

[Ken]

Hi Duane & Gang,

I can't tell you who invented the "Q" code but this brings to mind a
question!

Can you tell me what was the first international language (code)?

To my knowledge, the "Q" code was the second international language.

Yes, I've heard of the manufactured spoken language, Esperanti, but that
was much, much later.

Food for thought!  Take care,

Ken   N5CM
