Never heard of such nonsense
Around 1969 or 70 I was taught in both code classes offered by a local club
and "getting started" kinds of books (probably ARRL publications) that QRRR
was a standard distress signal. I remember having the impression that SOS
was "old fashion" and that QRRR was preferred, but that might have been just
my personal misunderstanding. Fortunately I've never heard either one in
actual use. I think that from a practical point of view I would stick with
SOS ( or "Mayday" on voice) because of the almost universal recognition that
comes from the hundreds or thousands of TV and movie scenes that have used
these over the years.
