[Elecraft] "QRRR"

[Monty Shultes]

To quote from Wikipedia:

""pan-pan" means there is an emergency on board a boat, ship, aircraft, or 
other vehicle but that, for the time beinf at least, there is no immediate 
danger to anyone's life or the vessel itself.  This is referred to as a 
state of urgency.  This is distinct from a Mayday call, which means there is 
immenent danger to life or to the continued viability of the vessel itself"
