In radio net terminology, what does the proword fetch indicate?

• A. Speak to a specific person
• B. Request retransmission
• C. Ask for acknowledgement
• D. Terminate the call

Answer: (A)

The proword fetch is used to direct attention to a specific person on the air. When someone says fetch followed by a name or call sign, they’re asking the net control (or the other operator) to bring that particular individual into the conversation or to respond directly to them. It’s about speaking to or contacting a designated person, not about repeating a transmission, acknowledging receipt, or ending the call. For example, saying fetch John means you want John to be connected or addressed directly.
