Acknowledge of reception report / QSL.
Mr. Raimo Karjalainen.
Dear sir.
I hope this finds you in good health and spirits.
We have received your "Reception report" and can confirm that the details of our transmissions are correct.
However the station has no offical QSL cards as such.
The transmitters we use are new Futronic T507M-D from Danphone, 1KW, but usually set at about 5-600w.
The station has two of these, one in Grindavik (SW coast) with id: X and another at Saudanes (close to Siglufjordur in N coast) id: R on 518/490khz.
In close future the id´s will change on 490khz. For the tx in Grindavik the id will be K (Kilo) and Saudanes will become E (Echo). Trials have started already, plans to make this operational by the end of July.
Currently the stations in the Icelandic maritime mobile service are going through a lot of changes.
In 2005 the last two radio stations were integraded with the Icelandic ship mandatory reporting system.
Aprox. year later the Icelandic Coast Guards operations center was combined as well.
All in all these entities make up what is called The Icelandic Maritime Traffic Center, manned by personel from ICG. Most of us are former radio operators, navigators/captains and such.
IMTC handles many things but when need calls it becomes MRCC Reykjavik an operating Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Center in all maritime SAR cases within Icelands SAR area (which is quite big).
Regards,
Björgólfur Ingason, Controller,
Icelandic Coast Guard, Operations.
