TEXT
Until the invention of radio by a Russian scientist, professor A. S. Popov, in 1894-1899, ships could practically communicate with each other and with shore only by means of flag, light and sound signals. Special code-books were worked out to facilitate and expand this communication. In these codes, which later on became international, separate signals and combination of signals signified at first letters of the alphabet and then the whole sentences. These codes are still in use on ships.
A. S. Popov was the first to notice that propagation of electromagnetic waves could be reflected by big objects (ships). He was the first to use an aerial for transmitting radio signals that led him to the invention of the first radio-transmitter and radio-receiver. In 1899 he elaborated the method of receiving radio signals by ear-hearing through telephone receiver. Thus the first wireless telegraph was invented. It is interesting to note that the first application of wireless telegraph was introduced on Russian ships.
176
Further development of Popov's ideas resulted in elaborating sophisticated modern radiotelephones used nowadays aboard ships and aeroplanes.
Radio waves are divided into long, medium, short and ultra-short waves. Submarines mostly use long waves. Ordinary transport ships use medium, short and ultra-short waves for communication. They use recently introduced VHF (very high frequency) band, two-way FM (frequency modulated) communication. The VHF band is subdivided into about 30 fixed channels, each servicing special needs. Channel 16, for example, is used for emergency calls and messages connected with safety of life at sea. For Pilot Stations and port calls we use channels 9, 11, 12 and 13.
In compliance with the requirements of the Register of Shipping of the USSR our ships are fitted with VHF two-way FM rig installed in the wheel-house. This enables our ships to contact easily shore stations, organizations and other ships in the vicinity.
Personal contacts greatly facilitate business relations with people. What is particular of telephone business talks is that the language used must be short, concise and comprehensible. Frequent pauses must be applied to enable your partner to understand you precisely. Words and sentences should be pronounced clearly and loudly enough. This circumstance imposes certain duties on our young ship officers. They must train themselves to master soundly spoken English, so far as this language is most often used in marine talks.
