Notice to Mariners No. 50 of 1952

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 9 July 1952.
OFFICIAL MESSAGES TO BRITISH MERCHANT SHIPS AND
FISHING-VESEELS
THIS organization provides for the transmission of important
messages from Naval Authorities to small ships, trawlers,
&c., fitted with radio-telephony, on occasions when such messages
may be of vital importance to their safety and welfare. Tests of
the organization, lasting for one week, may be held at irregular
intervals without prior notice, and all small craft fitted with R/T
apparatus are earnestly requested to listen for the messages broad-
cast during these tests and to forward particulars of those received.
NOTE.—This notice will in future be issued annually as New
Zealand Notice to Mariners.
2. When the organization described in this Notice to Mariners
is ordered to be brought into force—
(a) Ships are to continue to read the traffic from the coast
station serving the waters in which they are sailing.
Official messages will be broadcast as shown in the
table below:
(b) T.R.s are to be discontinued:
(c) Messages are not be acknowledged unless ships are specially
directed to do so in the text of the message:
(d) Ships are to conform to any restrictions regarding the use
of radio which may be issued by the Naval Authorities.
New Zealand Coastal Waters
These messages are to be broadcast at definite times from the
radio-stations given in the following table. Normal R/T procedure
to which small ships are accustomed is employed as far as possible.
A preliminary call will be made on 2182 kc/s. and the messages
will then be broadcast on the coast station’s working frequency
of 2162 kc/s.; this frequency will be referred to in the preliminary
call. The text of each message indicates the Naval Authority
who has originated it and contains, if necessary, details of the
locality to which it refers.
Example.—The shore station calls on 2182 kc/s. “Hullo, all British
merchant ships, this is Wellington Radio. I have a message
from the New Zealand Naval Board. Please listen on
2162 kc/s.”
The shore station then changes frequency and proceeds:
“Hullo, all British merchant ships, this is Wellington Radio.
Here is a message from the New Zealand Naval Board. Begins.
The organization for broadcasting official messages for ships
fitted with radio-telephony given in N. to M. No. 50 is now in
force for test for one week ending . . . (repetition of
text) . . . (date time group) . . . ends.”
All ships hearing these messages, when transmitted for test
purposes only, are particularly requested to forward brief reports
through their owners to the Navy Department and the Marine
Department, Wellington, stating the times and their approximate
position when these test messages were heard.
