*Question T2C07:
Which of the following is standard practice when you participate in a net?*  

*Correct Answer is  C: Unless you are reporting an emergency, transmit only when directed by the net control station*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

When participating in a net, it's important to follow established protocols to ensure effective communication and organization. Let's break down the question and the choices:

### Correct Answer: 
**C: Unless you are reporting an emergency, transmit only when directed by the net control station.**

- **Explanation**: 
  - In a net, the net control station (NCS) manages the flow of communication. Participants should wait for their turn to speak to avoid chaos and ensure that all messages are heard clearly. This practice helps maintain order and allows the NCS to manage the net efficiently. 
  - Transmitting only when directed also prevents interference and ensures that emergency communications can be prioritized.

### Why the Other Choices are Incorrect:

- **A: When first responding to the net control station, transmit your call sign, name, and address as in the FCC database.**
  - **Incorrect**: While it's important to identify yourself, you do not need to provide your address. Typically, you only need to transmit your call sign and possibly your name. Providing your address is unnecessary and could violate privacy.

- **B: Record the time of each of your transmissions.**
  - **Incorrect**: While keeping track of time can be useful for personal reference, it is not a standard practice required during net operations. The NCS usually keeps track of the net's timing and flow.

- **D: All these choices are correct.**
  - **Incorrect**: Since choices A and B are not standard practices, this option cannot be correct.

### Summary:
- The best practice in a net is to wait for the NCS to direct you to transmit, especially unless there is an emergency. This ensures organized communication and prioritizes urgent messages. 

By understanding these protocols, you can effectively participate in nets and contribute to smooth operations.
