MARINE RADIO OPERATORS HANDBOOK

The present handbook that has been prepared and then officially released by the Australian Maritime College has been primarily intended to guide the radio operators of the Australian ships fitted with the marine radiotelephony equipment, radio telephony with DSC capability, and/or Inmarsat satcom, or Australian ships voluntary fitted with the above mentioned radio equipment, or at LCS, i.e. Limited Coast Stations, especially operated by various marine rescue entities.

This book is considered a recommended one for candidates intending to undertake the exams for the MROPCP, standing for the Marine Radio Operators Certificate of Proficiency and MROVCP, in turn standing for the Marine Radio Operators VHF Certificate of Proficiency. All of the requirements and procedures that have been outlines in this publication are mainly based ob the IRR, i.e. International Radio Regulations by the ITU as well as on the provisions that govern the use of radio transmitters in the region plus radio station license conditions set by ACMA. Have a look in this publication and you may find so much useful information, and this will be particularly case for the people operating in that area.
