Isn't there a diagram to go with this question? If I recall correctly, the question is referring to a diagram of the ND display of a 737-400. QTX is the identifier of a nav aid.

VHF Omni-directional Radio Range with co-located Distance Measuring Equipment.



This VOR/DME is called BKY (morse code identification) on frequency 116.25, otherwise known as Barkway.

The first reply makes sense. I guess there's a missing figure in my test software...
