Got me thinking this one ....
I was a commercial operator for over thirty years in coastal radio
stations,
while at the same time being active on the ham bands.
During my day at work I would often do several 2 hour rotating stints on
CW and Phone.
I cant recall any use of Q codes when on the RT points even when talking
to a commercial op at the other end.
Expressions such as 73's were virtually unknown on CW
However I would often start my day with an hour's dxing on the low bands
and fitted in with the parlance without a thought.
