What does SAY AGAIN mean?

What does SAY AGAIN mean?

• A. Repeat only the last word you said.
• B. Repeat all of your last transmission. Followed by identification means, 'Repeat (portion indicated).'<90>
• C. Please repeat the entire conversation from the start.
• D. I understand your message; proceed.

Answer: (B)

SAY AGAIN is a request to have the last transmission repeated so the message can be heard clearly and accurately. The standard response is to repeat all of your last transmission, and then identify yourself. If the person asks for a specific portion to be repeated, you repeat only that indicated portion, followed by your callsign. This keeps communications clear and verifiable, especially in noisy or garbled conditions. Repeating just the last word, or asking to repeat the entire conversation from the start, or simply saying you understand and should proceed, does not fulfill the need to verify and recover the exact message that was heard.
