Advertising image and text. Self-promotional theme shows the ham radio Q-signal QRV followed by a question mark. This means ARE YOU READY? The corresponding answer is QRV meaning I AM READY.

Ham Radio Operators use Q-Signals as a communications shortcut.  Q-Signals originated among Morse Code operators because that is where the greatest time-saving benefit can be produced.  The use of Q-Signals has, in some cases, migrated into other modes of operation such as Phone (voice).
