What is the proper BEADWINDOW response?

• A. Over, out.
• B. Roger, out.
• C. Copy that.
• D. Standby.

Answer: (B)

BEADWINDOW signals a security breach on a radio net, so the correct response acknowledges the breach and closes the transmission. Saying “ROGER, OUT” does exactly that: “ROGER” confirms you heard and understood the breach, and “OUT” ends your participation on the net, preventing further discussion of the sensitive topic. Other phrases don’t fit this situation: “Over” would keep the net open and invite more talk, which isn’t appropriate after a security breach. “Copy that” is a general acknowledgment but doesn’t formally close the net. “Standby” asks for a pause but doesn’t release the line to end the transmission.
