Not to further aggravate the off-topic-ness of this topic, but this discussion reminded me of an experience I had about 10 years ago while traveling in the Miami/Dade County area of Florida.
While scanning around with a 2m handheld, I found the local police/sheriff were using nothing but Q-signals for their radio traffic. My best guess is that they chose to use this to confound many of the non-ham types (i.e. CB-radio types) who would be familiar with 10-codes. I'm sure someone in south Florida could confirm this and give a reasonable explanation for this. 73, Daniel AA0NI _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
