   The Missing Q signals   
      
      Some Q signals have never made it to the ARRL's official list. Here are   
   some that may agree would be useful in appropriate situations. As with   
   regular Q signals, each can be a statement or a question, depending on   
   whether a question mark follows it.   
      
     Obviously, many of these are for eyeball QSO's, and not for use on   
   the air (hi hi).
