 Identification of Stations

As provided in Section 26 of D.O. No. 11,

every station should properly be identified by
the use of call-sign assigned to it. As given in
the table of Allocation of International Call-
sign Series, the Republic of the Philippines
has been allocated the following International
Call-sign series:
D Series DUA-DZZ
4 Series 4DA-4IZ
 Identification of Stations

Call-signs are formed as follows:

• Fixed and land Base Station
– Two characters and one letter
followed by not more than three digits (other than 0 or 1)

• Land Mobile/Portable Station

– (a) Two characters
followed by four digits (other than digits 0 and 1).
– (b) Two characters and one letter
followed by four digits (other than 0 and 1).

 Interference

To minimize if not avoid interference,

radiotelephone operators are advised not to
begin transmission until after listening long
enough to determine that the frequency
channel is busy, he should wait until the traffic
has ended. Except in case of emergency or in
Distress in which you can follow the
procedures as given below:
 DISTRESS CALL AND MESSAGE

a) The distress signal

“MAYDAY” spoken three times or
“BREAK” spoken twice.
a) The word “THIS IS” (call sign)
b) LOCATION or position of station in distress
c) NATURE of distress
d) ASSISTANCE needed
 Prevention of Interference

• The licensee of radio station should see to it

that the transceivers operate on their
assigned frequency.
• The licensee of radio station should provide
means of measuring the power being
transmitted.
• The licensee of radio station shall maintain
least power possible as is necessary to
ensure satisfactory service
 Operation in Noisy Location

• In noisy location or environment, it is

practical to speak close to the
microphone with a normal tone of voice
or cup the microphone with both hands
and speak normally. Speaking loudly
over the microphone will result only to
distorted transmission.

area of a base is extended and mobile radio
communications system is extended by
receiving a weak signal and amplifying it before
re-transmission for reception of the mobile or
