Let Q be the space of all rational numbers and (X, τ) be a topological space where X is countably infinite. Here we prove that (1) τ is the join of two topologies on X both homeomorphic to Q if and only if τ is non-compact and metrizable, and (2) τ is the join of topologies on X each homeomorphic to Q if and only if τ is Tychonoff and noncompact.
