HOlger,

You mentioned being in the Signal Corps in a message in the WIN95
echo.

After I left Navy Radioman School and got to my
Duty Assignment, the Petty Officers had a CW Class
for all the new guys in the outfit.

One thing that still sticks in my head is the way the
Navy uses Q Signals.

The Navy way to send an Inquiry is INT Qxx
Where Amateur Radio Operators and Commercial Telegraphers
use Qxx? .

It just didn't make sense to me because IIRC I remember reading
that at the beginning of WWII the U.S.Navy asked for the Hams
to help them to create CW Operating Procedures for the Navy.

When you were in the Army were Q Signal sent with a
Question Mark after the Q Signal?   Thanks~

... Why does CARgo go by Ship and SHIPments go by TRUCK?
