Notice to Mariners No. 8 of 1949

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 15th February, 1949.

RADIO-TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR SHIPS

Change in Frequencies

Details: From midnight, 28th February, 1949, ships employing radio telephony will be required to use 2,182 kc/s when calling coast stations and to listen on that frequency for the reply. Traffic must be transmitted on the working frequency of 2,162 kc/s or 2,012 kc/s, whichever is applicable.
The following is an example of the procedure to be adopted:—
Ship station calls coast station on 2,182 kc/s—
“Hullo Wellington, Maimai calling, message for you, may I go ahead on 2,162 (2,012 kc/s where this frequency is used), over.”
Coast station replies on 2,182 kc/s—
“Hullo Maimai, Wellington answering, go ahead on 2,162 (2,012 kc/s where applicable), over.”
Ship station transmits traffic on working frequency—
“Hullo Wellington, Maimai calling, telegram begins.”
It should be noted that although a ship is required to change to its working frequency for traffic handling, brief remarks indicating the ship’s position, advice of leaving port, &c., may be made on 2,182 k/cs.
When a coast station wishes to communicate with a ship it will use the following procedure:—
Coast station calls ship station on 2,182 kc/s—
“Hullo Alert, Awarua calling, message for you, over.”
Ship station replies on 2,182 kc/s—
“Hullo Awarua, Alert answering, go ahead 2,162, over.”
(The ship station should then listen on 2,162 kc/s for reception of traffic from the coast station.)
In order to provide for those ships which, through unavoidable circumstances, are not able to have their transmitting equipment modified by the 1st March, 1949, listening watches will be maintained at coast stations for a few weeks thereafter on both 2,012 and 2,182 kc/s. The watch on 2,012 kc/s will be discontinued at short notice and, in the circumstances, frequency modifications should be completed as soon as possible after the date in question.
Authority: Director-General, Post and Telegraph Department.
W. C. SMITH, Secretary.
