Their dot-and-dash sig- nals enable the ‘mariner to set a safe course, by determining the direction of the known sending stations and then plotting the position of his ship on a navigating chart, ‘The mariner of any high-speed ship must receive signals from three radic- beacon stations on a similar band of frequencies, and in regular time se- quence, to get an exact location at & certain time. Under the old system, approach to ports near borderlines of Canada and the United States was hazardous be- cause of the irregularly timed signals from three needed stations. And the increasing number of radio beaeons on the shoreways of both countries caused interference between signals on related frequencies, Co-ordinate Signals. The new arrangement will group stations as to frequencies and operat- ing periods according to the needs of No Interest the mariner, regardless of whether they are operated by the United States, Canada or other jurisdictions. Radio beacons will broadcast during the same periods of the hour, where signals from two or three stations on both sides of the international border are necessary in the approach to im- portant ports. Some stations will broadcast their signals for two periods each hour, and all stations will operate at least one period per hour. The Washington State-Canada and the Maine-Canada shipping ways will | be as “easy sailing”—in respect to guidance by co-ordinated radio beacon signaling—as our own Cape Hatteras, that protects vessels from its reefs and rocks by three beacon stations, all be- longing to the United States. An interesting feature of the inter- national arrangement is its extent to regulation of distance finding signals. Some radio beacon stations send out fog signals at the same moment as radio signals.
