In this paper, we investigate various cardinal properties of the space $Q_{C}X$ of all real-valued quasicontinuous functions on the topological space $X$, under the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets. It begins by examining the relationship between tightness and other properties in the context of the space $X$, highlighting results such as the alignment of tightness $Q_{C}X$ with the compact Lindel\"of number of $X$ under Hausdorff conditions and the countable tightness of $Q_{C}X$ when $X$ is second countable. Further investigations reveal conditions for the tightness of $Q_{C}X$ relative to $k$-covers of $X$, as well as connections between density tightness, fan tightness, and other properties in Hausdorff spaces. Additionally, we discuss the implications of the Frechet-Urysohn property $Q_{C}X$ for open $k$-covers in Hausdorff spaces. We explore relationships between $Q_{C}X$'s tightness, the Frechet-Urysohn property, and the $\sigma$-compactness of locally compact Hausdorff spaces $X$. Furthermore, we examine the $k_{f}$-covering property and the existence of $k$-covers in the context of Whyburn spaces.
