Telephone Company
Granted Permit for
Emergency Radio
Authority Provides
For Use of Station
As Defense Measure
By WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele
phone Co. has been granted author
ity by the Federal Communications
Commission to erect an emergency
radio station here and to operate
two portable-mobile units.
At the same time the commission
announced amendment of its rules
governing these emergency stations,
which severely restricts their use.
They can be used only during the
existence of an emergency, and not
when an emergency mer^y is im
minent, as the original rules pro
vided. Furthermore, the stations
must remain silent at other times
and cannot be used for the ordinary
dispatching of trouble-shooters.
The new rules provide that these
special emergency stations may be
used only during an emergency
•‘jeopardizing life, public safety or
Important property.”
Eight Months to Build.
The proposed station of the tele
i phone company will have its dis
patching office and transmitter
located at 725 Thirteenth street N.W.
The antenna will be atop the same
building. The plans call for a 100
foot antenna, which will give a
total height of the structure above
the street of 235 feet.
Under the rules of the commission
the construction of the new station
must be started within two months
and be completed by eight months
from the date of the commission’s
action. The transmitter will be of
100 watts power and each of the
portable-mobile units, which will be
on trucks, will be 13 watts. They
have both transmitting and receiv
ing equipment. The telephone com
pany station will be similar to the
station just put in operation here
by the Potomoc Electric Power Co.
Because of the increased demands
by utility companies and others for
such frequencies, the commission
has been compelled to put restric
tions on their use.
Share-the-Cost Plan.
It Is encouraging utilities in the
same general areas to set up a single
station, and while it specifically bars
one utility from charging another
for use on a message or common
carrier basis, the commission has
ruled that these companies may
enter into an agreement for joint
Use on a share-the-cost basis. How
ever, in such cases the rules require
that the companies submit their
contracts to the commission 30 days
prior to the effective date for ap
proval.
As the stations are only for use in
an emergency and when other com
munications facilities are not avail
able, the new commission rules re
quire also that the stations be made
available for communication by any
member of the public.
Besides communication companies,
emergency stations are also oper
ated by transportation companies,
gas and oil companies, water dis
tribution companies, power distribu
tion companies, the American Red
Cross, the American Legion and re
mote establishments, which cannot
be reached by other means of trans
1 portation.
