LF = Left Foot! QLF "Send with your left foot"/"Are you sending with your
left foot?" I have an old friend who can send 10-12 wpm with a vibroplex
between the toes of his left foot! He spent WW2 on diesel subs as chief
radioman in the Pacific. It's a learned trait...(c;

QLF is not listed in ACP-131, for the most part it has no assigned,
internationally recognized, meaning.

Back in my Navy days the stock reply, when queried about an unknown Q or
Z signal, would have been "It means send a series of LIMA with FOXTROT
separators".

Oh yeah, lousy fist, that comes back to me know. Did you know that
there was a Soviet Bloc single seat fighter (post WW-II?) that had a
foot key?

Hello!
Our boat has several UHF radio's that are used to communicate between
compartments. I thought the steel bulkheads would have acted as a faraday
cage and prevented any communication. Any thought on why the UHF radios
work
as well as they do?

-Thanks

Why withhold your name for "Security Concerns", when it appears in you
E-Mail address anyway?


Maybe I'm just trying to trick you into believing my name is Harry?

Doh!!!
