There is a pretty definitive listing of Q codes here.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that QNE is the Standard setting of 1013.2 or 29.92. QNE is the indication (in feet or metres) which will be shown on your altimeter at an airfield when that pressure is set. You won't find many airfields above 18,000' to land at to try it out, even in the US
