Are you asking about the Official Q-code lists as defined by International Organizations or Common usage by Amateur Radio Operators ? Official Q-codes are at URL: http://www.kloth.net/radio/qcodes.php Okay, that is a typical source I've seen. Now look at the specific entries: # QTH My position is ... latitude, ... longitude (or according to # any other indication). "My" Lat/Long. # QTF The position of your station according to the bearings taken # by the D/F stations which I control was ... latitude, ... # longitude (or other indication of position), class ... "Your" Lat/Long. Both *seem* pretty clear. ---------- # QRA The name of my vessel (or station) is ... Other ham sites imply this denotes grid square coordinates ("locator")--okay, that is just variation in common usage. ---------- # QGE Your distance to my station (or to ...) is ... (distance # figures and units). More "precise" geodetic (ellipsoidal) distance (for official competitions, etc.)? # QRB The approximate distance between our stations is ... nautical # miles (or km). Casual/informal spherical distance for general purposes? ---------- # QTE Your TRUE bearing from me is ... degrees at ... hours. # or # Your TRUE bearing from ... (call sign) was ... degrees # at ... hours. # or # The TRUE bearing of ... (call sign) from ... (call sign) # was ... degrees at ... hours. Straight forward: "Your" azimuth/bearing to "me" (i.e., the "reverse azimuth"). Or, is QTE for *both* the forward/obverse ("me" to "you") *and* reverse azimuth? If not, # QTI My TRUE track is ... degrees. [AP13] # QTI* My TRUE course is ... degrees. [AP14] # QTL* My TRUE heading is ... degrees. which (if either) of these would denote the obverse azimuth? ~Kaimbridge~ ----- Wikipedia-Contributor Home Page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kaimbridge ***** Void Where Permitted; Limit 0 Per Customer. ***** |
