(call signal)? or What is the true bearing of. . . (call signal) in relation to. . . (call signal)? Will you give me the position of my station on the basis of bearings taken by the radio direction - finding stations which you control? Will you transmit your call sig- nal during 50 seconds ending with a 10-second dash, on. . . kilocycles (or. . . me - ters) so that I may take your radio direction-finding bear- ings? Transmit radio signals and sub- marine sound signals to en- able me to determine my bearing and my distance. Will you please indicate the proper course to steer toward you, with no wind? Suspension of work Must I stop transmission? Emergency Have you received the urgent signal transmitted by. . . (call signal of the mobile sta- tion). Distress Has the distress call received from. . . been attended to? Have you received the distress signal sent by. . . (call sig- nal of the mobile station)? Is the distress traffic ended?

The position of your station on the basis of bearings taken by the radio direction-find- ing stations which I control is...latitude, . . . longi- tude. I will transmit my call signal during 50 seconds, ending with a 10-second dash, on . . . kilocycles (or. . . me- ters) so that you may take my radio direction-finding bearings. I am transmitting radio signals and submarine sound signals to enable you to determine your bearing and your dis- tance.
