Module 3 - Phonetic Alphabet & Prowords
Prowords That Prevent Ambiguity
Prowords are short radio words with defined jobs. They reduce clutter and stop stations guessing what you mean.
The highest-value distinction is Over versus Out. Over invites a reply. Out ends the exchange. Saying both together is contradictory in standard procedure.
Key points
- Over: I have finished and expect a reply.
- Out: this exchange is finished; no reply expected.
- Say Again: repeat all or part of your last transmission.
- Correction: an error follows; the corrected version is next.
- Stand By: wait; I will call again.
