"Normal range by reckoning" means normal range reckoned in relation to power in metre amperes in the case of type B or fully modulated type A2 transmitters on the assumption thatġ00 nautical miles corresponds to 60 metre amperesĨ0 nautical miles corresponds to 45 metre amperesĥ0 nautical miles corresponds to 25 metre amperes

"Normal range" means the distance in nautical miles from a ship to which wireless signals on a frequency of 500 kilocycles (wave length 600 metres) can be transmitted over sea by day under normal conditions so as to be clearly perceptible by means of a receiver employing a rectifier of the crystal type without amplification devices. "Cargo ship" means any ship not being a passenger ship. (2) In these Rules unless the context otherwise requires the following expressions have the meanings hereby respectively assigned to them:.
