What is the meaning of the word "DE" in Morse code?
- A Calling any station
- B Directional Emissions
- C From
- D Received all correctly
Correct answer: C — From. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
In Morse code, the letters D and E together form the prosign "DE," which simply means "from" when separating the call sign of the station being called from your own. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
