Apollo 100 - incorrect I'm afraid

QNE is NOT 1013mb - that is the Standard Altimeter Setting

QNE IS (As HD says) occasionaly used at High Altitude Airports and is the level indicated on an altimeter, on the ground at that location, when 1013 is set.

It's a common misunderstanding which does keep cropping up however.
