The Q-signal procedurals are for use in Morse communications, but some have crept into voice usage as well,
with similar meanings.
is never spoken but it is customary to say "Is this frequency in use?" before making a call on an
apparently-free frequency.
is sometimes spoken as "you're getting QRMd" or "there's a lot of QRM" to indicate that the
frequency is very congested.
has a more absolute "low power operation" meaning rather than a relative "please lower your power"
one. "Operating QRP" refers to the sport of trying to make contacts with a low a power as possible, usually 5
watts or less.
is sometimes used to indicate that one is signing off. "I'm gonna go QRT now."
is always spoken "Q R Zed" and is used when one catches part of a call, particularly on an FM
repeater, but can't tell which station is being called. If I hear a friend of mine call someone, and it might be me,
but I'm not sure, I might say "QRZ for KF9FF?" Can be used this way whenever there is doubt about whom
the calling station is calling or what they want.
