Traffic will then be broadcast in the following sequence:—

Call Sign. Message. No. of Transmissions.
GBMS 0241/7 Two.
GBMS 1720/6 One.
GBMS 0645/6 One.
GBMS 1 2358/6 Two.
GBMS 1 1131/6 One.
GBMS 1—GBMS 6 1827/6 One.
GBMS 3B 0912/7 Two.
GBMS 3B 1127/5 One.
GBMS 10 0436/7 Two.
GBMS 10 0916/6 One.

(v) In the case of GBMS traffic broadcast from 500 kc/s stations during single operator periods, the messages for transmission will not be indicated at the beginning of the broadcast (except as shown in paragraph 5 (iv) for Areas 1, 2, 7, and 8), but new traffic will always be broadcast first, each message being sent twice; repetitions of previous transmissions will follow, each message being sent once only.

(vi) In Area 1 500 kc/s stations will normally broadcast GBMS traffic approximately one hour after the times shown for traffic list in the Admiralty List of Radio Signals, Vol. I, and in Area 2, one hour after the commencement of single operator periods, since certain routine broadcasts on other frequencies occur at the beginning of these periods.

(vii) Similarly, in other areas, the times of broadcasting GBMS traffic from 500 kc/s stations during single operator periods will be so adjusted as not to coincide with routine broadcasts of GBMS traffic from other stations in these areas. Where interference between local stations is likely to occur, the times will as far as possible be staggered.

The messages from the Admiralty to all areas will be issued in alphabetical sequence thus: “Admiralty Message A,” “Admiralty Message B,” &c. After lettered message Z the sequence will be AA, AB, &c., to AZ, thereafter BA, BB to BZ, and so on. Messages to all areas not made by radio but passed to Merchant Ships via Shore Authorities will also belong to this series and be similarly lettered. For example, messages BA and BC might be made by radio and message BB passed only via Shore Authorities, in which case message BC would contain the information that BB had not been sent by radio. This is to enable merchant ships to check that they have not missed any messages in the series.

Any messages which have been missed should on no account be asked for by radio. They should be obtained by V/S from H.M. Ships or other British merchant vessels or by personal application to the British Naval Representative or Consular authorities at the next port of call.

SCHEDULE.

NOTE.—The transmission from Rugby on 16 kc/s (18,750 metres) at 2000 G.M.T. is intended primarily for ships in Area 5, and that on 8,910 kc/s (33·67 metres) at 2000 G.M.T. for ships in Areas 3, 4, 5, and 6.
