: WTF does QLF mean? Terry K LF = Left Foot! QLF "Send with your left foot"/"Are you sending with your left foot?" I have an old friend who can send 10-12 wpm with a vibroplex between the toes of his left foot! He spent WW2 on diesel subs as chief radioman in the Pacific. It's a learned trait...(c; -- Larry |

WTF does QLF mean? QLF is not listed in ACP-131, for the most part it has no assigned, internationally recognized, meaning. Back in my Navy days the stock reply, when queried about an unknown Q or Z signal, would have been "It means send a series of LIMA with FOXTROT separators".

Did you know that there was a Soviet Bloc single seat fighter (post WW-II?) that had a foot key?

"-Name Withheld For Security Concerns" wrote in message ... Hello! Our boat has several UHF radio's that are used to communicate between compartments. I thought the steel bulkheads would have acted as a faraday cage and prevented any communication. Any thought on why the UHF radios work as well as they do? -Thanks Harry Tuttle Why withhold your name for "Security Concerns", when it appears in you E-Mail address anyway? Maybe I'm just trying to trick you into believing my name is Harry? -Regards Harry Doh!!! |
