- A.No US stations should call
- B.Operating full break-in
- C.Listening only for a specific station or stations (correct answer)
- D.Closing station now
WhySending KN at the end of a CW transmission means the operator is listening only for a specific station or stations to reply. "KN" at the end of a CW transmission signals that the sender is listening only for a specific station or stations to reply, not for any station in general, answer C. It doesn't restrict replies to non-US stations, doesn't describe full break-in, and doesn't mean the station is signing off entirely.
