Funny how history sort of repeats itself. If there are any ol' morse code
senders out their, this should start looking like the "Z" and "Q" messages
that were sent as abbreviations.
qrk qsl qrl meant "do you have any messages for me, I am caught up
and have to traffic for you. This may be the wrong letters its been many
years since I have used any but it still should suffice as an example. My
favorite was ZBM2 which asked if you were flying in a cloud cover. Generally
sent as an insult.

Over time I have come across many typing shortcuts using the English
language, such as:
OTOH - on the other hand
WRT - with regard to
BTW - (I am still trying to figure out this one)
Can someone please list the more common ones? I sometimes strain my brain
trying to figure them out and they are in my own language. It must be
terribly confusing to most of our world-wide colleagues.
Thanks,
