What is the meaning of: "Your signal report is 3 3"?
C
Answer
Licensing, station identification, and operation
Type
A
The contact is serial number 33
B
Your signal is unreadable, very weak in strength
C
Your signal is readable with considerable difficulty and weak in strength
D
The station is located at latitude 33 degrees
Answer Notes
A '3 3' report gives a Readability of 3 and a Strength of 3. On the 1-to-5 Readability scale, a 3 means the signal is readable, but with considerable difficulty. On the 1-to-9 Strength scale, a 3 indicates a weak signal.
Options suggesting a serial number or a latitude coordinate are completely unrelated to standard amateur radio signal reporting practices. The option suggesting the signal is 'unreadable' is incorrect, because an unreadable signal would receive a Readability score of 1.
