Those Quazy 'Q' Signals |
Q - signals are three-letter combinations beginning with the letter 'Q'. They were originally used to facilitate ship-to-shore communications in Morse code. CB Radio Operators have adopted several of these Q-signals to expedite transmissions and send and receive information more quickly. Using Q-signals lets the CB Radio Operator on the other end know that you are an experienced operator and seasoned CB'er. Learn these basic, well-used, Q-signals, and use them in your CB Radio communications.
