COMMUNICATIONS 



U.S. Coast Guard Communications Station 

 NMF/NIK Boston, MA was the primary radio 

 station used for the dissemination of the daily ice 

 bulletin and facsimile chart. The Ice Patrol Office 

 in New York prepared the bulletin and chart and 

 sent it to numerous radio stations which broadcast 

 the bulletin to mariners. 



As in the past, the Ice Patrol Office requested all 

 ships to report ice sightings, weather and sea 

 surface temperatures to U.S. Coast Guard 

 Communications Stations. Response to this 

 request was good as shown in Table 3. The 10 most 

 frequent contributors of this information were: 



M/V BAKKAFOS/TFXO 

 USCGC EVERGREEN/NRXD 

 M/V KANSAS GETTY/DSOP
