§ 80.121 Public coast stations using telegraphy.
(a) Narrow-band direct-printing (NB-DP) operating procedures. (1) When
both terminals of the NB-DP circuit are satisfied that the circuit is
in operable condition, the message preamble must be transmitted in the
following format:
(i) One carriage return and one line feed,
(ii) Serial number or number of the message,
(iii) The name of the office of origin,
(iv) The number of words,
(v) The date of handing in of the message,
(vi) The time of handing in of the message, and
(vii) Any service instructions. (See The ITU "Manual for Use by the
Maritime Mobile and Maritime Mobile-Satellite Services".)
(2) Upon completion of transmission of the preamble, the address, text
and signature must be transmitted as received from the sender.
(3) Upon completion of transmission of the signature the coast station
must, following the signal "COL", routinely repeat all service
indications in the address and for figures or mixed groups of letters,
figures or signs in the address, text or signature.
(4) In telegrams of more than 50 words, routine repetition must be
given at the end of each page.
(5) Paragraphs (a) (1) through (4) of this section need not be followed
when a direct connection is employed.
(6) In calling ship stations by narrow-band direct-printing, the coast
station must use the ship station selective calling number (5 digits)
and its assigned coast station identification number (4 digits). Calls
to ship stations must employ the following format: Ship station
selective call number, repeated twice; "DE", sent once; and coast
station identification number, repeated twice. When the ship station
does not reply to a call sent three times at intervals of two minutes,
the calling must cease and must not be renewed until after an interval
of fifteen minutes.
(7) A public coast station authorized to use NB-DP frequencies between
4000 kHz and 27500 kHz may use class A1A emission on the "mark"
frequency for station identification and for establishing
communications with ship stations. The radio station license must
reflect authority for this type of operation, and harmful interference
must not be caused.
(b) Watch on ship calling frequencies. (1) Public coast stations using
telegraphy must maintain a continuous watch during their working hours
for calls from ship stations on frequencies in the same band(s) in
which the coast station is licensed to operate. See subpart H of this
part.
(2) Such station must employ receivers which are capable of being
accurately set to any designated calling frequency in each band for
which the receiver is intended to operate. The time required to set the
receiver to a frequency must not exceed five seconds. The receiver must
have a long term frequency stability of not more than 50 Hz and a
minimum sensitivity of two microvolts across receiver input terminals
of 50 ohms, or equivalent. The audio harmonic distortion must not
exceed five percent at any rated output power.
(c) Radiotelegraph frequencies. Radiotelegraph frequencies available
for assignment to public coast stations are contained in subpart H of
this part.
