What does the Q code QSL mean?

• A. Do you receive me/ok
• B. District desk assignment
• C. Time
• D. Proceed with transmission

Answer: (A)

In radio communication, Q codes are shorthand prowords used to keep exchanges quick and clear. QSL is the code for confirming receipt of a message or that you can hear/understand the other party. So asking for QSL means “Do you receive me? Is this coming through clearly?” That aligns with option describing “Do you receive me/ok.” The other ideas—where the message is being sent to a particular desk, a specific time, or simply proceeding with transmission—aren’t what QSL means. In practice, you might hear someone say “QSL?” to confirm they’re being heard, and the reply would indicate the same: that the transmission was received clearly.
