[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

Thank You for the Q-Code, Frank! QSL

Now I have not to find my old one. But there are at least two missing:

QLF - are you transmitting with left foot?
QPM - how many days before leaving the military?

I once (1963) witnessed the Inspector of Signals, Col Uller, watching a teleprinter. The message ended with QPM, QPM?

Colonel - What does QPM mean. I dont know that one.
Operator - Dont know sir!
Col - Bengt! (AdC) what does QPM mean?
Cpt Sylvén - Dont know sir!
Col - Get the manual -- NOW!

They didnt find it but the teleprinter started puffing again QPM, QPM?

Col - Hell soldier! You know it! I can see it from your face!
Op - Yes sir, how many days more in the army.

Col - (low, sharp, hissing voice) Answer him: three days more than you beleive.

Those three days were spent in jail.
