I'll gently remind them that we use QSL or Roger instead of 10-4.

Wouldn't a purist say that Q-codes should only be used in CW mode, and not on voice modes? I've heard it argued that Q-codes were shorthand phrases used in CW mode, and that on voice modes, folks ought to just say what they mean.


Then, I've heard a number of folks discuss the use of prowords like "Roger" and "Clear." I've always thought it humorous to hear "Over and out." "I'll be clear on your final."

Back to you, over.
