[W5SFA] Q Codes

[Cameron]

>From Wikipedia:

Humorous/Unofficial codes
There are also a few unofficial and humorous codes in use[citation needed], such as QLF ("are you sending with your left foot"), QPP ("Hold on a minute, I drank a liter of water and need to use the bathroom."), and QSC ("send cigarettes", not the official meaning of "this is a cargo vessel"). In the question form, QNB?, is supposed to mean "How many buttons does your radio have?" A reply of the form QNB 45/15 means "45, and I know what 15 of them do." Another example is QLO, accepted to stand for "Quietly listening out" to indicate that one has signed out of a net, but has not ceased listening. QSJ is sometimes used to refer to the cost of something - "I would like an FT9000 but it is too much QSJ". (QSJ actually means "What is the charge to be collected to ... including your internal charge?").
