Also, I'm still searching for a definitive answer to the question of whether
it is appropriate to use Q-signals in phone transmissions. For example, is it
really appropriate to say "QRZ? this is K5XXX". Or would it be correct to
say "Who is calling me, this is K5XXX"? Of course, using a Q-signal by
reference would be appropriate, such as "The QRN level is very high
today". Or is it?
And it seems silly to me to say "HI, HI" instead of just laughing. Should
this term be used on phone?
Personally I have no real problems with using some Q codes on phone.
The use of HI (spelt as two letters) adds confirmation that the
foregoing was said in jest. Not all humorous statements come with
'laughter attached' :-) The smiley I have just used conveys a similar
sentiment.
