Some Q signals have never made it to the ARRL's official list. Here are
some that many agree would be useful in 
appropriate situations. As with regular Q signals, each can be a
statement or a question, depending on whether 
a question mark follows it. 
QBA - My antenna is BIG! 
QBA? - How big is your antenna? 
QBO - Don't sit next to that guy in the meeting. 
QBO? - Buddy, can you spare some soap? 
QBS - It's getting deep in here. 
QBS? - Did I tell you about the one that got away? 
QCP - I am using Cat Power(From Rotary Cat Power Wheel) 
QCP? - Are you using Cat Power? 
QCW - I am going to whistle Morse Code on FM (or SSB) 
QCW? - Why are you whistling Morse? 
QDR - Damn Right the frequency is busy! (In response to QRL) 
QDR? - Do you have a Receiver? (In response to QRL) 
QET - Phone home. 
QET? - Has anyone called me from another planet? 
QFH - This frequency is MINE! - go elsewhere. 
QFH? - Is this frequency hogged? 
QHI - I am jumping in quick to say hi, then going QRT. 
QHI? - Are you leaving after only one transmission? 
QLF - I am sending with my left foot. 
QLF? - Are you sending with your left foot? 
QOK - Your last transmission was Okie Dokie. 
QOK? - Was my last transmission OK? 
QPM - Your signal is purr modulated. 
QPM? - Is my signal purr modulated? 
QRC - Warning, rag chewer on frequency. 
QRC? - Are you a rag chewer? 
QWC? - Who cares? 
QWC - I don't care 
QZZ - I fell asleep at the mike. 
QZZ? - Is that a 60Hz hum, or are you snoring?
