Semaphore: two flags. Think of a clock. A is 6 and 7. B is 6 and 8. C 6 and 9. D 6 and 10. E 6 and 11. F 6 and 12. G 8 and 6 wait — use the standard: A down-right and down, then around.

Shorter legend for A–H, the only letters you need:

A: low-right + down
B: right + down
C: high-right + down
D: up + down
E: high-left + down
F: left + down
G: low-left + down
H: low-right + right
