 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [54 STAT. the transmitter should not be modulated in excess of its modulation capability to the extent that interfering spurious radiations occur and in the case of amplitude modulation the operation percentage of modulation should not be less than 75 per cent on peaks of frequent recurrence. Adequate means should be employed to insure that the transmitter is not modulated in excess of its modulation capability. A spurious radiation is any radiation from a transmitter which is outside the frequency band of emission normal for the type of trans- mission employed, including any harmonic modulation products, key clicks, parasitic oscillations or other transient effects. SECTION 5. NON USE OF 333 Kc/s. AS AIR CALLING FREQUENCY. 49 stat. 2471. Referring to Article 7, Paragraph 11 of the Madrid Radiocom- munications the frequency 333 kc/s. is not to be used as an inter- national Air Calling frequency in the American Continent, except in special cases in connection with transatlantic flights.
