What does the Q signal "QRV" mean?

  1. You are sending too fast

  2. There is interference on the frequency

  3. I am quitting for the day

  4. I am ready to receive messages

The correct answer is: I am ready to receive messages

The Q signal "QRV" stands for "I am ready to receive messages." This indicates to other operators that you are prepared and available to engage in communication. In the realm of amateur radio, Q signals are shorthand expressions that streamline communication, particularly in situations where clarity and efficiency are essential. Using QRV ensures that your fellow operators understand that you are actively listening and ready for incoming contacts or messages. It establishes your state of readiness without the need for lengthy explanations, which is especially useful during busy operating periods or when band conditions are challenging. Understanding the Q signal system enhances your ability to communicate effectively in the amateur radio community, as it allows for quick exchanges of information and status updates among operators.
