    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,
