We present the result of 27 ASCA observations of 26 radio-quiet quasars(RQQs) from the PG survey. All the RQQs were detected except 2 BALQSOs. We findthe variability characteristics of the sources to be consistent with Seyf-1s. Apowerlaw offers an acceptable description of the time-averaged spectra in the2-10 keV (RQQ-frame) band for all but 1 dataset. The photon indices vary fromobject to object over the range 1.5~
