Abstract :
THE International Radio Regulations establishing 2,182 kc as the international calling and distress frequency for maritime mobile radiotelephony in the 1,605-to 2,850-kc band came into effect May 1, 1953.1 Many government stations have been equipped for operation on this frequency. Parts 7 and 8 of the Rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) require that all ships and public coast stations using telephony in this band be equipped for operation on 2,182 kc. Completion of arrangements for the full utilization of this frequency by ship and coast stations in the United States was scheduled for July 1, 1954.
