Ship-to-Shore Radio in Puget Sound Area

Telephone communication to and from harbor craft in the Puget Sound area in the State of Washington is accomplished by means of low powered radiotelephone channels from each boat to a single land station from which connections can be made to any telephone; the equipment used for this purpose is described here. A 400 watt transmitter is used in the land station and a 50 watt transmitter on each boat. Frequencies used are 2,522 kilocycles for the shore-to-ship direction, and 2,126 kilocycles for the ship-to-shore direction.
