You have called another vessel by flashing light and he has answered your call properly. You now send your call sign "DE KLIS". What should he respond with?
• Meaning of DE in flashing light (Morse) communications • Standard format of an answer to a station calling you by call sign • Difference between acknowledging receipt and identifying your own station
• When a station calls you using "DE" followed by their call sign, what is the usual order of call signs in the reply? • Think about radiotelegraph/visual signaling practice: which station’s call sign is spoken or sent first in a reply — the calling station or the answering (called) station? • Which option best shows both stations’ identities in a logical order, instead of only one station or just a general receipt signal?
• Be clear on what DE means (it separates called station from calling station) • Check which choice shows both call signs, not just one • Confirm that the response should both identify the answering vessel and show who it’s talking to
