Heard an OM today pronounce that Q Codes were for CW only. Funny when a SS OM began calling CQ on an occupied frequency, a "QRL OM QSY por favor" worked. Yeah he might have understood enough English to do it anyway and my tired Miami Spanish may have gotten it across but we didn't need to try. Q Codes were an effort to reduce the number of characters in a message but also provided a mutually comprehensible language. I'm QRT.
