What is the proper course of action if your station's transmission unintentionally interferes with another station?

The proper course of action when your station's transmission unintentionally interferes with another station is to properly identify your transmission and move to a different frequency. This action respects the operating rules and etiquette of amateur radio, which prioritize cooperation and minimizing interference. By identifying your transmission, you are informing other operators of your station and intentions, thereby promoting transparency.

Moving to a different frequency reduces the likelihood of ongoing interference, as it allows you to find a less crowded or problematic area of the band. This is critical in ensuring that all operators can use the spectrum effectively without disruption.

It's important to adhere to these practices to maintain good operating standards and contribute positively to the amateur radio community. Adjusting your antenna or power settings, or changing antenna polarization may not adequately resolve interference issues and could even exacerbate the problem.
