CDIGO "Q"

El cdigo "Q" es el lenguaje internacional entre radioaficionados. Gracias a l, es posible eliminar las barreras lingisticas. Adems, se evitan errores de interpretacin, pues todo l se basa en tres letras, cuya primera es siempre la misma, la "Q". Fue desarrollado como un mecanismo para dar mayor fluidez entre las comunucaciones en CW, pero no slo se utiliza en telegrafa, tambin en fona. Tambin se les puede dar un valor afirmativo en lugar del interrogativo. Algunos de los ms usados son:
QRA QRB QRG QRH QRJ QRK QRL QRM QRN QRO QRP QRQ QRS QRT QRV QRX Cul es el nombre de su estacin? QRY Cul es mi turno? Quin me llama? Cul es la intensidad de mis seales? (escala del 1 al 5) Tienen fading mis seales? Es mi manipulacin defectuosa? Puede escucharme entre sus seales, puedo interrumpir su transmision? Puede acusar recibo? Puede usted comunicarse con...? Quiere retransmitir a...? Debo pasar a transmitir en otra frecuencia? Cuntos mensajes tiene para transmitir? Cul es su ubicacin? Cul es la hora exacta Tiene usted noticias de...?

A qu distancia est usted de mi estacin? QRZ Cul es mi frecuencia exacta? Vara mi frecuencia? QSA QSB
