Which code indicates that you will relay a message to another station?

• A. Relay
• B. Busy; Stand by Unless Urgent
• C. Out of Service
• D. Repeat

Answer: (A)

In radio communications, the action of forwarding information to a different station is signaled by the term used. Saying “Relay” tells the dispatcher that you will act as a messenger, passing the message along to another unit or station rather than replying to the original party. This is why it’s the best choice here: it explicitly denotes forwarding the message. The other phrases describe different statuses or actions. “Busy; Stand by Unless Urgent” means you’re occupied and will only interrupt for urgent matters, not that you’re relaying a message. “Out of Service” indicates you’re unavailable to communicate. “Repeat” asks the sender to repeat what was said, not to forward it to another station.
