What is the meaning of the signal QU RQ when sent by the International Code of Signals?

🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (INTERCO) and how two-letter groups are used for standard phrases • Difference between a plain two-letter group (like RQ) and a preceded group (like QU RQ) • How the Code handles questions vs. statements (interrogative vs. declarative meanings)

💭 Think About

• Think about what adding the group QU in front of another group usually does to the meaning of the signal. • Consider whether QU RQ is more likely to be (1) a general grammatical function (like turning something into a question) or (2) a very specific operational message about anchoring or pilotage. • Look at which option describes a call sign and recall how national call sign prefixes actually look in radio practice.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Code whether RQ by itself has a standard meaning, and then what changes when you add QU before it. • Check if the International Code of Signals uses two-letter groups like this to indicate national registration/call signs, or if call signs follow a different pattern. • Confirm whether signals that ask about anchoring or leading to safe anchorage are normally expressed as short two-letter groups or as more specific multi-letter/code group messages.
