[Elecraft] Q codes

[E.H. Russell]

It used to be fun as net control on 80 back in the 50s when my call sign was
K5QNF.

"Who knew there were so many Q-codes :)"

My favorite from my time as a teenager in the cadet force signals wing was
QUQ.  I had remembered it as "Shall I point my searchlight at a cloud,
occulting if necessary, in order to pinpoint my position".

Either my memory is playing tricks on me or the meaning changed a bit over
the years.  The definition I found now is "Shall I train my searchlight
nearly vertical on a cloud, occulting if possible and, if your aircraft is
seen, deflect the beam up wind and on the water (or land) to facilitate your
landing?"

Either way, not a code that comes up in most QSO.
