Well, consulting the source [ACP131]:
QRN? "Are you troubled by static?"
QRN "I am troubled by static"
QRM? "Are you being interfered with?"
QRM "I am being interfered with"
I suppose "static" could be "interfering with you" as well as another
station, and much of 75 m in the evening probably classes as "static"
regardless of its source. :-) It's seemed to me that the Q-signals
class QRM as caused by another station and interference from everything
else as QRN, but I'm a retired engineer not a lawyer. Additions to the
ICAO/ITU standards can be found at www.zerobeat.net/drakelist/missingq.html

I thought QRN was exclusively atmospheric noise. Perhaps we need a new
Q code for man-made garbage.
