[Elecraft] Q codes

[tony.kaz at verizon.net]

Only ever got one QLF. In the late 1970's, two minutes to go at the end of the PA QSO party and found the last mult to get a clean sweep.   When I went to send the key fell apart. Yanked off the wires and touched them together to send call and info in CW. But I got him in the log and a clean sweep.  
N2TK, Tony

Good point Andy!  QLF seems to refer to sending ability.  ZBM2 refers to overall operating ability ... I think ... ACP's 126 and 131 leave a lot to the reader's imagination. Jack Phillips, MGY, might have used it on "Iceberg Night" had the Z's existed then when he was berating the operators on the Californian and a Navy vessel for poor operating procedure.
