Which of the following is good practice when choosing a transmitting frequency to answer a station calling CQ using FT8?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Find a clear frequency during the alternate time slot to the calling station
FT8 stations alternate 15-second time slots, so answer in the opposite slot from the CQing station, on a clear frequency. Calling on their own frequency can collide with others.
Tip: FT8: answer in the other time slot.
