Q codes are for morse only. People who use Q codes on voice or text are
boring.
I agree that generally there is no reason to use Q-codes on voice.
But there are 600,000 + hams in the USA most using Q-Codes on voice even
VHF, and ya ain't gonna change that, so I suggest you know the basic ones
when they come at you.
Example: New folks coming on repeaters will hear about 5 or 6 commonly used
Q-codes - best learn them or wonder what the hell they are talking about.
QSL, QSY, QTH, QRM, QRN, QRX, etc
Q-Signals are brevity codes as is the 10 codes. They are useful to increase
thruput and clarity, that is why the police and RACES use them on voice.
With Hams it is mostly jargon and tradition. Just like the rest of our
language -- if ya get my drift - OK.
You will have an impossible task trying to eliminate Q-signals on Ham radio
voice modes --- QSL ?
P.S. Do you still say DMV instead of Department Of Motor Vehicles ------
