Communication

Question 1

SOS

Answer 1

Short, short, short
Long, long, long,
Short, short, short.

Be careful that if you are excited you don’t only do “shorts”.

Question 2

Signaling Airplanes and Helicopters with Fire

Answer 2

On the highest place you can, make three fires in a triangle-shape so that an airplane or helicopter can see them. This is the signal for “help!”

Question 3

Signaling with a Mirror

Answer 3

Make a V-with your fingers and position the other person between them. Now reflect the sun’s light back and forth from finger to finger. A small flash of light can be seen miles away.

Question 4

Walk-in- Talkies

Answer 4

When you are done speaking say, “Over.”

When you understand what was said say, “Roger.”

Instead of “no” say “negative”.

Instead of “yes” say “affirmative”.

Use an agreed-upon channel and keep the walkie-talkie on that channel.

Don’t speak until the other person says, “Over”.
