Amateur Radio Q-Codes GuideQ-codes are standardized sets of three-letter combinations, each of which stands for a question or a statement. In amateur radio, these codes facilitate efficient and clear communication, especially during conditions where clarity might be compromised or to quickly convey common questions or statements. Here's how to use them: To ask a question: Use the Q-code followed by a question mark. For example, "QTH?" means "What is your location?" To answer or make a statement: Use the Q-code without a question mark. For example, "QTH London" means "My location is London." Here are some commonly used Q-codes in amateur radio: Of these, terms like QSL, QSO, QRP, QRZ, QTH, and QRM are among the most frequently used in daily amateur radio chatter. The use of certain Q-codes may vary based on the mode of operation (voice, Morse code, or digital) and the context in which they're used. QRA - What is your station name (or call sign)? QRB - How far are you from my station? QRG - What's my exact frequency? QRH - Does my frequency vary? QRI - How is the tone of my transmission? QRJ - Are you receiving me badly? Am I weak? QRK - What is the readability of my signals? QRL - Are you busy? QRM - Is my transmission being interfered with? QRN - Are you troubled by static? QRO - Shall I increase power? QRP - Shall I decrease power? QRQ - Shall I send faster? QRS - Shall I send more slowly? QRT - Shall I stop sending? QRU - Have you anything for me? QRV - Are you ready? QRX - When will you call me again? QRZ - Who is calling me? QSA - What is the strength of my signals? QSB - Are my signals fading? QSL - Can you acknowledge receipt? QSO - Can you communicate with ... direct or by relay? QSP - Will you relay a message to ...? QSY - Shall I change to transmission on another frequency? QTH - What is your location? QTR - What is the exact time? |
