The Amateur 'Q' code.

Some of the more commonly used codes were.........

QRM Are you being interfered with/I am being interfered with.
QRN Are you troubled with atmospherics/I am being troubled....
QRQ Shall I send more quickly/Please send more quickly.
QRS Shall I send more slowly/Please send more slowly.
QRT Shall I stop sending/I am ceasing transmission.
QRX Shall I wait/Will you please wait a moment.
QRZ Who is calling me/you are being called by ...........
QSB Does my signal strength vary/your signal strength varies.
QSL Can you acknowledge/I will acknowledge receipt.
QSY Please change frequency to...../shall I change frequency?
QTH What is your location/my location is...........

These are but a few, and as you can see, when these signals are sent out in 'Q' code in any language, then they are interpreted the same in another language. Neat eh? This saves a lot of problems when contact is made with another country.
