2015[41]Q -- Ins-Net Qs for Oct 09, 2015: "U-Pick-Em: A or B ( 10-9! )"

Insomniac-Net Questions -- Friday[41], Oct 09, 2015
Tonight's Topic: "U-Pick-Em: A or B ( 10-9! )"
    Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
    We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    (Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)
    Please check out Winsystem's Insomniac Trivia Net page.
    You can get these Questions & Answers at the Yahoo-groups' Messages Link.
=================
    Tonight, we are returning to the Friday Night Trivia Net's Question Category: "U-Pick-Em: A or B".
    Basically, we will give you 2 Answers per Question and you pick the correct one -- either A or B.
    Today is/was October 9th, the 282th day of 2015 -- often commonly abbreviated as "10-9".
    Did you know that "10-9" is also used in the US by many local, state, and national service agencies (like Police and Fire Departments, 911 Dispatchers) in radio communications to mean "Repeat" (message)?
    Organized in 1935, APCO (currently named the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials*) developed a "standardized" list of short coded radio phrases to convey tactical information quickly and clearly among various Police personnel and radio dispatchers.
    These coded phrases were originally called the APCO "10 Codes".
    Updated in 1974 and currently used by many Served-Agencies across the US and other countries, the Expanded APCO 10 Codes now number 100.
    For example, in most jurisdictions, "10-4" means "Message received", "10-6" means "Station is busy", "10-7" means "Out of Service", while "10-33" usually means "Emergency" or even "Officer needs assistance".
   So, how much do you know about the 10 Codes?
    Please give us your best answer for each of the following 3 A or B questions, by picking the (reuseable) answers of "A"= A or "B"= B.
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    OK, I will "10-9" these questions!
++ "U-Pick-Em: A or B ( 10-9! )" ++
Question #1: The APCO 10-Codes (e.g., 10-4, 10-9) and HAM Q-Codes (e.g., QSL, QRM, QSO) are generically known as...?
        A. Brevity Codes, or
        B. Quick Comm Codes
 
Question #2Expanded APCO 10 Codes are used in voice radio communications for three main reasons:  they shorten transmissions, they are a convenient dictionary of messages, and...?
        A. They are recommended by the US Dept of Homeland Security (DHS)'s SAFECOM program, or
        B. They obscure meaning from the General Public
 Question #3: What is the Expanded APCO 10 Code number for "Taking a bathroom break"?
        A. "10-100" or "10-200" depending upon type of incident, or
        B. None -- (...oh, my!!!!)

(*Originally named Association of Police Communication Officers when formed in 1935)
=================
    ++ 10 Code JOKE OF THE DAY ++ -- by Shelley [KF7TBA] as told to LW [K7LWA]:
Q: Two police officers, named Pete and Repeat, are sitting in a donut shop.
    Pete gets a "10-46" ("Assist motorist") call and leaves.
    Who is left?
A: "10-9" -- (get it? "10-9" means "Repeat" -- the name of the other officer... get it now???? -- oh, never mind)
        [Source: PSST! LW really made that stinker up and I had nothing to do with it -- Shelley]
