RE: [Elecraft] Use of Abbreviations (OT?)
Got me thinking this one I was a commercial operator for over thirty years in coastal radio stations, while at the same time being active on the ham bands. During my day at work I would often do several 2 hour rotating stints on CW and Phone. I cant recall any use of Q codes when on the RT points even when talking to a commercial op at the other end. Expressions such as 73's were virtually unknown on CW However I would often start my day with an hour's dxing on the low bands and fitted in with the parlance without a thought. su and hve a gd trip 73's John dit dit In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Also, I'm still searching for a definitive answer to the question of whether it is appropriate to use Q-signals in phone transmissions. For example, is it really appropriate to say QRZ? this is K5XXX. Or would it be correct to say Who is calling me, this is K5XXX? Of course, using a Q-signal by reference would be appropriate, such as The QRN level is very high today. Or is it? And it seems silly to me to say HI, HI instead of just laughing.
