Generally Amateur Morse operating procedures ('Q' codes) are similar to those used by the commercial telegraph operating system, and are used to produce faster and more efficient communications. The two most commonly used codes and abbreviations are 'Q' codes,used to pass information signals, and the 'RST' code, used for signal reports. The following will display firstly the 'Q' codes used by the Amateur Radio fraternity, then the 'RST' codes, finally the 'CW' abbreviations. |
