Here is a list of Q codes, I am sure there are loads more. Originally the
shorthand was developed to speed Morse code contacts up, using the fact that
most words starting with a Q have U as the 2nd letter, so anything else can be
this 3 letter code system. Other codes are used e.g. CB's 10 & Mill Z code etc.
The Q code is very popular even in phone communication & in commercial circles.
It has the great ability to permit clear exchanges between different languages
too. The use in phone mode greatly helps under poor signal or language
conditions, so it not being lazy. However I do try not to use when on a demo
station with public present,
