TITLE 47—TELECOMMUNICATIONS
§ 320
§ 320. Stations liable to interfere with distress
signals; designation and regulation
The Commission is authorized to designate
from time to time radio stations the commu-
nications or signals of which, in its opinion, are
liable to interfere with the transmission or re-
ception of distress signals of ships. Such sta-
tions are required to keep a licensed radio oper-
ator listening in on the frequencies designated
for signals of distress and radio communications
relating thereto during the entire period the
transmitter of such station is in operation.
(June 19, 1934, ch. 652, title III, § 320, 48 Stat.
1090.)

equipment on vessels; regulations
(a) The transmitting set in a radio station on
shipboard may be adjusted in such a manner as
to produce a maximum of radiation, irrespective
of the amount of interference which may thus be
caused, when such station is sending radio com-
munications or signals of distress and radio
communications relating thereto.
(b) All radio stations, including Government
stations and stations on board foreign vessels
when within the territorial waters of the United
States, shall give absolute priority to radio
communications or signals relating to ships in
distress; shall cease all sending on frequencies
which will interfere with hearing a radio com-
munication or signal of distress, and, except
when engaged in answering or aiding the ship in
distress, shall refrain from sending any radio
communications or signals until there is assur-
ance that no interference will be caused with
the radio communications or signals relating
thereto, and shall assist the vessel in distress, so
far as possible, by complying with its instruc-
