47 U.S.C. § 322 — Exchanging radio communications between land and ship stations and from ship to ship

submitted 92 years ago by ch. 652 to r/title-47-TELECOMMUNICATIONS · 117 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Public land radio stations that serve ships and aircraft must exchange radio messages with any ship or aircraft station at sea. Ships and aircraft at sea must do the same with each other and with those land stations. This applies no matter what radio equipment each station uses.

Any land radio station that is open for public service between the coast and ships or aircraft at sea must, as part of its normal work, exchange radio messages or signals with any ship or aircraft station at sea that contacts it. In the same way, any station on a ship or aircraft at sea must, as part of its normal work, exchange radio messages or signals with any other ship or aircraft station at sea, or with any public land station serving ships and aircraft. This duty to exchange messages applies no matter what radio system or equipment each station happens to use — a station cannot refuse just because the other side uses different equipment.
