7. Receiver. The station shall always be equipped for the reception of signals sent on frequencies in current use at the station at any time by means of continuous wave telegraphy, telephony and any other type of emission authorized in condition 2.
8. (1) Messages.---Messages may be exchanged only with amateur stations (as defined by the International Radiocommunication Regulations) in this Colony or abroad. Except as is in this condition expressly provided messages exchanged by means of the station shall relate solely to the licensee's private (but not business) affairs or those of the person with whom he is communicating and shall be in plain language. Special gramophone records for reproducing modulations of definite tones may be used for test purposes. Gramophone records of the type intended for entertainment purposes may be used on the condition that only one such record is used during the course of any day, the same record being repeated as desired; any record so used shall not have a playing time exceeding 10 minutes when played at the correct speed.
(2) The use of the station for (a) advertising or business purposes, (b) the sending or reception of news or the messages of persons other than the licensee or the person with whom he is communicating, (c) the sending or reception of broadcast programmes or (d) the sending or reception of social or political propaganda or the messages of any social or political organization is expressly prohibited.
(3) The licensee shall not receive any payment (either direct or indirect) for the use of the station or allow the station to be controlled by or used for the purposes of any social or political organization.
9. Secrecy of Correspondence. If any message which the licensee is not entitled to receive is, nevertheless, received the licensee shall not make known or allow to be made known its contents, its origin or destination, its existence or the fact of its receipt to any person (other than a duly authorized officer of the Hong Kong Government or a competent legal tribunal) and shall not reproduce in writing, copy or make any use of such message or allow the same to be reproduced in writing, copied or made use of.
10. Call signal.-The call signal VR has been allotted to the station. The prefix of nationality, i.e. "VR" must invariably be included in the call signal which may be sent either by morse telegraphy at a speed not greater than 20 words per minute or telephonically if the station is authorized to use telephony.
The call signal must be sent for identification purposes at the beginning and at the end of each period of sending.
In calling another station the call signal of that station must be sent and may be repeated throughout a period of not more than one minute, after which the signal "de" must be sent once and the call signal of the calling station three times. This procedure may be repeated but the time taken in calling must not exceed three minutes without an interval during which the operator must listen in the band of frequencies in which the call has been made.
In answering a call the call signal of the calling station must be sent three times, the signal "de" once and the call signal of the answering station three times.
When telephony is used the letters of the call signals may be confirmed by the pronunciation of well-known words of which the initial letters are the same as those in the call signals, but words used in this manner must not be of a facetious character nor be capable of undesirable misinterpretation.
