[Elecraft] OT: 20M moving QRM

Well, consulting the source [ACP131]:

QRN? "Are you troubled by static?"
QRN "I am troubled by static"

QRM? "Are you being interfered with?"
QRM "I am being interfered with"

I suppose "static" could be "interfering with you" as well as another 
station, and much of 75 m in the evening probably classes as "static" 
regardless of its source. :-)  It's seemed to me that the Q-signals 
class QRM as caused by another station and interference from everything 
else as QRN, but I'm a retired engineer not a lawyer.  Additions to the 
ICAO/ITU standards can be found at www.zerobeat.net/drakelist/missingq.html

73,
