✨ Radio Telegraph Regulations

Jan. 18.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 149

At the commencement of each separate item the broadcasting station shall repeat its call signal three times; and, in addition thereto, may announce the full name and address of the broadcasting station, and make brief remarks relevant to the matter about to be transmitted.
Broadcasting stations shall not be used for the dissemination of propaganda of a controversial nature, but shall be restricted to matter of an educative or entertaining character, such as news, lectures, useful information, religious services, musical or elocutionary entertainment, and such other items of general interest as may be approved by the Minister from time to time. The licensee of a broadcasting station shall not transmit radio communications which, in the judgment of the Minister, do not come within the authority of this regulation or do not conduce to the public interest.

SPECIAL REGULATIONS AS TO EXPERIMENTAL TRANSMITTING STATIONS.

A band of wave-lengths from 390 to 410 metres shall, at the discretion of the Minister, be available for allocation to experimental stations, but only such wave-lengths as are specified in the station license shall be employed.
The normal power of an experimental station shall be 50 watts. The power rating of a radio transmitter shall be as determined by the Minister.
In cases in which an approved investigation is being undertaken which would be facilitated by an extension of the powers conferred in the experimental station license, the Minister may, at his discretion, grant such temporary privileges as, in his opinion, may be necessary to cover the object in view.
An experimental transmitting station license shall be granted only to a person of recognized attainment in the theory or practice of radio telegraphy, or to a body engaged in conducting experiments for the development of the science of radio telegraphy.
The licensee of an experimental transmitting station shall not operate the said station unless he holds an amateur operator’s certificate, Grade I, or a certificate of a higher class; but the licensee, not being in possession of such a certificate, may employ a person holding an amateur operator’s certificate, Grade I, or a certificate of a higher class, to assist in the operation of the said station.
The hours of transmission of experimental stations shall be as determined by the Minister.

PENALTIES.

Every licensee or operator who acts in contravention of or commits an offence against any of the provisions of regulations 34, 35, 40, or 41 shall be liable to a fine of £50 or to imprisonment for six months.
Every licensee or operator who acts in contravention of or commits an offence against any of these regulations for which a penalty is not hereinbefore provided shall be liable to a fine of £10 or to imprisonment for three months.
