   protection must be provided against the effects of vibration, moisture, and
   temperature.

   (c) The radiotelephone station and all necessary controls must be located at
   the level of the main wheelhouse or at least one deck above the ship's main
   deck.

   (d) The principal operating position of the radiotelephone station must be
   in  the  room from which the ship is normally steered while at sea. In
   installations on cargo ships of 300 gross tons and upwards but less than 500
   gross tons on which the keel was laid prior to January 1, 1965, the location
   of the principal operating controls may be in a room adjoining and opening
   into the room from which the vessel is normally steered while at sea. If the
   station can be operated from any location other than the principal operating
   position, a positive means must be provided at the principal operating
   position to take full control of the station.
