Portland Lightship to Have Modern Signals
Charles C Brush, Superintendent of Lighthou of the Department of Commerce, announced that the Portland Lightship will be equipped with a radio signal and a synchronized sound signal for distance finding, to be effective May 1, 1936. When the sound signal operates a pair of radio dashes will be transmitted and a group of two synchronized blasts will replace two code blasts, enabling distance by dividing the time between radio signal reception and sound blast by five. For example a twenty second interval means the ship is four miles from the station.
