109 CW Operating Procedures ARRL CW Communications Procedures Voice Code Situation General call CQ Used to solicit communications. Go ahead K Used after calling CQ, or at the end of a transmission, to indicate any station is invited to transmit. Over AR Used after a call to a specific station, before the contact has been established From -or- this is DE Shortcut meaning from or this is. Go ahead (specific) KN Used at the end of any transmission when only the specific station contacted is invited to answer. Stand by -or- wait AS A temporary interruption of the contact. Roger R Indicates a transmission has been received correctly and in full. Clear SK End of contact. SK is sent before the final identification. Leaving the air -orclosing the station CL Indicates that a station is going off the air, and will not listen or answer any further calls. CL is sent after the final identification. Best Regards 73 Used at the end of QSO to bid them farewell.
