I am puzzled by the technique of asking QRL? and then starting a CQ about 1 or
1.5 seconds later. Even K4BAI probably cannot get to his paddle quick enough

Subject: [CQ-Contest] QRL?
Following the Stew Perry Test, K3ZM had a cool 3830 post concerning signs

If you have come to learn that "QRL?" means, "It is time for you to QSY

Or as I would put it, to a few people "QRL?" apparently means "Are you
Ready to Leave?", and a response of "QRL" means to them, "Yes, I am Ready to
Leave".
