          Look up QUQ. It was one of the Q
                signs on the Commercial
                Radiotelegraph exam when I took it. 
          I think they did it as a joke as it
                has not been used since
                the days of the Zeppelin.
           
          The word is that when the Hindenburg
                arrived at Lakehurst
                the first time in 1936, it crashed the next
                year,
           the German operators  were sending
                QUQ, and the
                Navy guys had to go and get the book out to look it up.
           
                                                                             
                                                                       73,

          PS: I got it right on the exam.
