Which term indicates the intended party for the message?

• A. ROGER
• B. TO
• C. SAY AGAIN
• D. I SAY AGAIN

Answer: (B)

In radiotelemetry, you need to direct each message to a specific recipient, especially on busy nets with many listeners. The word that signals who the message is for is “to” followed by the intended addressee. This cleanly marks the intended recipient so the right unit hears and acts on the content, avoiding confusion in multi-party communication. The other phrases serve different functions. “Roger” means you’ve received and understood the transmission, not who it’s for. “Say again” asks the other party to repeat what they just said. “I say again” is used when the speaker repeats their own previous transmission. For example, you might say, “TO Bravo Six, this is Alpha One, over,” to ensure Bravo Six knows the message is for them.
