Answer Notes
Q-codes are three-letter combinations starting with "Q" that represent common phrases in radio communications. They were originally developed for Morse code to save time but are still heavily used across various modes today.
The code "QRS" means "Send more slowly." It is an essential code for operators to know, as it allows them to request the transmitting station to reduce their sending speed so the message can be copied accurately.
Common distractors include other Q-codes; for example, interference from static is "QRN," and "QTH" refers to the radio station's location.
