== CB 10-codes and Q-codes ==Shorthand communication on CB radio, the ten-codes, officially known as ten signals, are brevity codes used to represent common phrases in voice communication The CB Radio 10 codes are not the same as those used by law enforcement. The Most Commonly Used 10 Codes for CB Radio:* '''10-1''' Receiving Poorly* '''10-4''' Ok, Message Received* '''10-7''' Out of Service, Leaving Air (you're going off the air)* '''10-8''' In Service, subject to call (you're back on the air)* '''10-9''' Repeat Message* '''10-10''' Transmission Completed, Standing By (you'll be listening)* '''10-20''' "What's your location?" or "My location is..." Commonly asked as "What's your 20?"* '''10-100''' Out of Service to go to the bathroom.The Most Commonly Used Q Codes by CB Radio Freebanders:* QRM man made noise, adjacent channel interference* QRN static noise* QRO increase power* QRP reduce power* QRT shut down, clear* QSL confirmation, often refers to confirmation cards exchanged by hams* QSO conversation* QSX standing by on the side* QSY move to another frequency* QTH address, location* CQ-DX - Skip (or DX) is a name used to describe atmospheric conditions that allow for radio transmissions to travel long distances. The CB radio frequency spectrum is located very close to one of the popular Ham Frequencies used for DX. CQ is a radio term meaning "Calling any station." When used as CQDX the meaning is calling any distant station. Legal AM CB Radio is not capable of utilizing skip in a practical sense. However, using 12 watt sideband it is possible to communicate long distances and therefore a sport has been built around making long distance contact "DX" on legal "bare foot" SSB CB Radio.
