Why QTH is worth knowing

QTH means "my location is" — one of the Q codes, a set of three-letter abbreviations that let operators exchange standard questions and answers across a language barrier. Send it with a question mark and it becomes "what is your location?".

QTH letter by letter

Each key is one character, sent with a short silence between them. Open any key to hear it on its own.

You can send QTH yourself by day 6 of the seven-day plan: that is when the last of its letters is taught.
