[SFDXA] The Missing Q Signals

[Mike Williams]

HA!  I do miss World Radio magazine.  I was a lifetime sub then they had to pull the plug.  I can't recall the guy who wrote the antenna articles for them, he was quite good.

Good DX.  W4DL   Mike in EL96wf

The missing Q signals

John Queen, KAØSEY & Mike Colyar, K7ITL

Some Q signals have never made it to the ARRL's official list. Here are some that may agree would be useful in appropriate
sityations. As with regular Q signals, each can be a statement or a question, depending on whether a question mark follows it.


QLF  I am sending with my left foot.
QLF?  Are you sending with your left foot?
QRC  Warning, rag chewer on frequency.
QRC?  Are you a rag chewer?
QOK  Your last transmission was Okie Dokie.
QOK?  Was my last transmission OK?
QFH  This frequency is MINE! - go elsewhere.
QFH?  Is this frequency hogged?
QBS  It's getting deep in here.
QBS?  Did I tell you about the one that got away?
QZZ  I fell asleep at the mike.
QZZ?  Is that a 60Hz hum, or are you snoring?
QBA  My antenna is BIG!
QBA?  How big is your antenna?
QHI  I am jumping in quick to say hi, then going QRT.
QHI?  Are you leaving after only one transmission?
QBO  Don't sit next to that guy in the meeting.
QBO?  Buddy, can you spare some soap?
QNO  I am sending through a non-standard orifice.
QNO?  Are you sending through a non-standard orifice?
QCW  I am going to whistle Morse Code on FM (or SSB)
QCW?  Why are you whistling Morse?
QET  Phone home.
QET?  Has anyone called me from another planet?
