That's why we asked for it.

I suggest anyone interested in writing software gets a copy of "Notam Selection Criteria", an attachment to Appendix C of ICAO Document 8126, the Aeronautical Information Services Manual, which gives a full decode of all of the 4 letter Q codes. The example above for instance includes the code QCTLT which translates as.

Q - Identifies it as the Q Code
C - Tells us it's category COM _ Communication and Radar Facilities.
T - Tells us it's Terminal area surveillance radar
LT - means Limited to (see text for limitation)

QNVCT for example would indicate a VOR "on test, do not use"
