It would not be QRT, that means turning the radio off. Can't stand bye with a turned-off radio! Only do CW here, can't hear voice. Have no idea what they say on phone, but it wouldn't be QRT.
oh i know it, that is my only pet peeve i have with some sidebanders, makes me grind the teeth every time i hear it, making no sense at all. but hey ducks in a row sometime i guess

...............and where do you hear this? Why, on CB, of course! Them "dumb" ole hams mostly know their Q signals!

Happy New Year to All!

QRT = Shall I stop sending? Stop sending.
This is the real morse code meaning in question and answer form. Can't you be QRT from your present qso and standing by for a future qso ? You have just told the operator that you have stopped sending. I guess it's in the interpretation. I don't use the phrase myself.
QRZ = Who is calling me? You are being called by ..

CW,
If you want to be technical, why do hams use Q codes when using voice ? They are meant for morse code abbreviations.

Geesh Jerry, I think you need to check out the spacing and tension on your key.Either that or stop sending CW with a bug while mobile.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
You know, I have a hard time translating WRITTEN Morse myself much less writing it! Morse is a reflexive mode meant to be HEARD and not written. I have an awful time with it no matter how it is written! :shock:

I know what you mean Jerry. CW is meant to be HEARD not SEEN. I have a hard time translating it when I see it even when it is sent with a light.Just can't get the rythmn going. :?
I actually HATE to mess with written CW anyhow--unless I'm clowning around like I was up the thread! I keep losing my place and have to back up and start over. One of the beautiful things about Morse is you don't HAVE to copy every letter to know what's being sent. If one had to literally copy EACH character in a string, NO ONE would ever be able to run along at 40 WPM (NO way, I can't do that--about 15-20 is my most comfortable copy ) I think that that is one of the things that defiantly anti-Morse people don't realize. However, missing characters is simply no big deal. You just learn to copy what you can and fill in the blanks later; you just have to train yourself not to stop to figure out that last letter and keep gittin' up! Also, as you learn CW, your speed builds because you can anticipate what is going to be said; IOW, you literally *know* what he's going to say BEFORE he sends it! That may not make sense to a non_Morse person, but it is how it works! You just have to *learn* it to understand how it is--and why it IS fun--even more so than jabbering about being "destinated" LOL!
