"QSL 
used to verify time when communicating with TSC"

message: International signal flags have signals that may start with a letter Q but which are unrelated to the radio Q code. The flag codes use similar ideas of stereotype expressions to handle common situations. --Wtshymanski (talk) 01:30, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I just mis-remembered this as the name of the 2D barcode format, QR Code.  I've added a see-also to it, feel free to revert, but please leave your justification for why you did so here.  Thanks! JesseW, the juggling janitor 18:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plausible confusion with [[QR Code]] -- the two dimensional barcode type 

message: We currently have : Atmospheric pressure at sea level, corrected for temperature and adjusted to a specified datum such as airfield elevation. When set on the altimeter it reads height.  What is the relevance of 'at sea level'?  It is adjusted for elevation (ie not sea level). Martin Hogbin (talk) 11:44, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  QFE? 

message: I added a couple of informal non-CW uses of amateur radio codes, with referenced examples. That made the text after the table even longer, so I gave it its own h4 subhead, Informal usage, and rearranged it into paragraphs ordered by Q-code.
The humorous codes like QLF ("try sending with your LEFT foot") didn't fit in that, so I moved that para out to a subsection of its own). And the discussion of the official use of QRS ("Send more slowly") was redundant with the table.
A couple more useful things done too, like a link to the ARRL page on Q codes, officially describing their unofficial status.

thread_title:  Informal and humorous amateur radio codes 

message: I have reverted the deletion of this section as vandalism.  It is not vandalism but a good faith attempt to add some informal usage to WP. Informal,and sometimes offensive, use of official language is quite common.
The real problem is the lack of sources.  Perhaps the person who added them could provide some sort of verification that these codes are, in fact, in regular use and not just a figment of their imagination. Martin Hogbin (talk) 09:52, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, which is why I reverted the original edits. Apart from QLF, and QRG which is a regular code, I have never ever heard ANY of these used in 40 years on the amateur bands. It all looks like somebody's imagination has gone a bit wild. Yes, we need sources, but I rather suspect there are none. Dsergeant (talk) 17:45, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As no one has come up with any reliable sources, I would not object if the section were removed. Martin Hogbin (talk) 16:33, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, Google. I see dozens of websites with all those [now deleted] informal Q-codes.  Even QPP. ~ Agvulpine (talk) 22:48, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the table in § In All Services (QRA–QUZ), the strings "[AP13]" and "[AP14]" appear 45 times, in 13 and 10 rows respectively, usually in both columns (there is one exception), and often both in the same row. 
They are not footnotes or links, and there is no explicit statement of what they mean, but the opening text of the section reads
: First defined by the Washington 1927 ITU Radio Regulations. Later defined by ITU-R in Appendix 9 to the Radio Regulations Annex to the International Telecommunications Convention (Atlantic City) 1947. The current callsign table is found in ITU-R Appendix 42. Current interpretation of the Q-code can be found in ITU-R Appendices 14 and 15.
: ITU Radio Regulations 1990, Appendix 13: Miscellaneous Abbreviations and Signals to Be Used in Radiotelegraphy Communications Except in the Maritime Mobile Service
("[AP15]" does not appear at all.)
It seems clear that the bracketed strings are meant as source references to Appendices 13 and 14. Nevertheless, it should be made explicit.  Thnidu (talk) 02:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
