At the close of each transmission to which a response is not necessary?

• A. Over
• B. Roger
• C. Out
• D. Emergency

Answer: (C)

In NORAC radio etiquette, you choose a closing word to signal whether you expect a reply. When you’ve finished your message and no response is needed, you use the closing word that means the channel is closed for that transmission: Out. It tells anyone listening that the message is complete and no acknowledgment is required. Over is used when you’ve finished speaking but expect a response from the other party; you’re inviting a reply. Roger is an acknowledgment indicating you’ve received and understood what was said, but it doesn’t indicate you’re finished speaking or that no reply is needed. Emergency is reserved for urgent, safety-critical situations and is not a routine closing.
