What prosign is sent to indicate the end of a formal message when using CW?
- A.SK
- B.BK
- C.AR (correct answer)
- D.KN
WhyAR is the CW prosign sent to mark the end of a formal message. "AR" is the standard prosign sent to mark the end of a formal, complete message in CW, answer C. "SK" signals the end of the entire contact, "BK" invites the other station to break in, and "KN" restricts replies to one specific station, none of those mark the end of a single message the way AR does.
