8. Things taken into account at work
There are many things to know at work at radio stations. The followings below are especially
important.
8-1 Observance of Radio regulations and rules concerned
You should not only observe the regulations and rules above, but you should also observe rules of
each port or each ship. Especially onboard ships which carry dangerous cargos, when fire work is
carried out and radio waves are transmitted or work is done on open deck such as compass deck,
permission should be obtained before work is started.
8-2 No permission to transmit radio waves by unqualified persons
When transmissions of radio waves are needed during repairing or maintenance, work should be
carried out under observation of ship's qualified persons.
8-3 Dummy antenna may be used during adjustment of transmitters if possible.
8-4 Whatever equipment may be operated, distress signals should not be
transmitted even through dummy antenna. ( Note 1 )
If distress signals were transmitted by accident, nearby Competent Authority's Radio station or
Coast Radio Stations should be immediately informed of what happed.
Contents to be informed
1) Ship's name
2) Call sign
3) the time of transmission and the time of ceasing transmitting
4) the reason why erroneously transmitted
Note1 : When maintenance or test of EPIRBs is carried out onboard ships, and radio wave
shielded confined room such as engine control room etc. should be used not to transmit radio
wave outside the ship (If an antenna is there, it should be removed temporally.) and stop
transmission soon after test is over.
