[Elecraft] QRQ CW

[Walter Underwood]

Agreed, this is correct usage. It is shorthand for "OVER to you and OUT after your transmission", which saves another transmission just for "ID, out".

You might hear this at a busy harbor, where control is working with many commercial ships and the operators are comfortable with it. It allows control to move on to the next vessel.

I would not use this on an amateur radio net without a training session that established this bit of advance proword usage.

Over,
