What does the code "QTH" mean in amateur radio?

QTH is one of the most common Q codes used in amateur radio, translating to "My location is..." or, when asked as a question (QTH?), "What is your location?". It is derived from the historic Morse code shorthand used by maritime and telegraph operators to quickly exchange geographical coordinates or city names. Distractors like "Time here is" or "Stop sending" correspond to other Q codes. For example, "Stop sending" would be QRT, not QTH. Remembering that the "H" in QTH can stand for "Home" or "House" is a handy way to recall that it refers to your location.
