I've never heard it on the aeronautical bands, either, even though that's obviously the intended application of that particular Q-signal. That's a relic from days long forgotten. Today they get that info from ATIS before they even contact approach control. 73 DE John, KC2HMZ "Advise on initial contact you have information Lima." |

There are numerous Q-signals that were originally for aeronautical use, back when CW was used for communications with airplanes. I was just pointing out that they aren't used anymore. Comms between aircraft and from air-to-ground are in AM mode. No need for q-signals there, and as I say, the ATIS tells the flight crew which runway is in use anyway. 7e DE John, KC2HMZ |
