[Boatanchors] Distress "Q" signal like, CQD SOS MAYDAY etc

[Bry Carling]

I have never heard "QRRR" used in over 50 years of radio listening... I seriously doubt that anyone would know what it meant if they heard it. I have heard SOS used, and most people know what it means - thanks to STING if nothing else!

Yes "QRRR" is still correct.

Members,

Is "QRRR" still the overland CW distress  "Q" signal?

I seem to remember it from my Novice days back in the late 60's

Just curious... I am not in distress.

Tnx de Howie WA3MCK
