in cases where, in his opinion, such action is warranted.

A license shall not be granted for any radio station the operation
of which, in the judgment of the Minister, is likely unduly to interfere with

Minister, be inimical to the public interest. -

Minister may at his discretion remit the annual license fee.
CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSMITTED WAVES.
- For the purpose of these regulations the various types of emissions
are classified as under:
(TYPE A1.)—Continuous waves, key modulated; meaning continuous
waves of which the amplitude or frequency is varied by the operation of
keying as in telegraph transmission.
(TYPE A2.)—Continuous waves, modulated at audio frequency; meaning
continuous waves in which the amplitude or frequency is varied in a periodic
manner at an audible frequency, and commonly referred to as I.C.W.
(TYPE A3.)—Continuous waves, modulated by speech; meaning continuous
waves in which the amplitude or frequency is varied according to
the characteristic vibrations of speech.
(TYPE B.)—Damped waves; this includes waves from spark transmitters
or other types of transmitters having a characteristic decrement similar to
spark transmitters.
DAMPED WAVES (TYPE B).
- The use of damped waves is prohibited except for research work
on approved lines and subject to special written consent.
CALL SIGNAL.
-
Every radio station licensed hereunder to transmit radio communications
shall, for purposes of identification, be allocated an official call
signal, by which the station shall be identified, and which is to be used in
the manner hereinafter given whenever a radio communication is caused
to be transmitted from the said radio station. -
For the transmission of any radio communication to any other
licensed radio station the procedure governing communications between
ship stations and ship stations, or ship stations and coast stations, and
outlined in Article 25, Sections 1 and 2, of the Detailed Service Regulations
appended to the Radio Telegraph Convention, 1912, shall apply. -
Where the transmissions are of an experimental character and not
addressed to any specific station, the call signal shall be sent thrice both
at the commencement and at the close of each radio communication or
connected series of radio communications.
