- [[G2B06]] (A)
How can you avoid harmful interference on an apparently clear frequency before calling CQ on CW or phone? #card
	- 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
	- B. Listen for 2 minutes before calling CQ
	- C. Send the letter “V” in Morse code several times and listen for a response, or say “test” several times and listen for a response
	- D. Send “QSY” on CW or if using phone, announce “the frequency is in use,” then give your call sign and listen for a response
