How can you avoid harmful interference on an apparently clear frequency before calling CQ on CW or phone?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. Send “QRL?” on CW, followed by your call sign; or, if using phone, ask if the frequency is in use, followed by your call sign
Before calling CQ, send 'QRL?' and your call sign on CW, or ask 'Is this frequency in use?' and give your call on phone. Then listen for a reply.
Tip: QRL? means 'Is this frequency in use?'
