QRM was one of life's great pains if you were trying to make CW communications at long range with some piece of Air Ministry 'wireless' technology such as the 1154/55!!
Interference, static, general rubbish or another station transmitting on your frequency could all qualify.
The code, incidentally in its basic form was a statement i.e. ...
QRM - I am being interfered with.
The interrogative form was QRM IMI - the IMI being written with a superimposed bar and sent as one continuous character.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
