CHAPTER 5 RADIO INTERFERENCE AND RADIO VIOLATION REPORTS<br />
A. Radio Interference Reports<br />
1. Action to be Taken.<br />
a. Interference. When harmful interference to radio<br />
spectrum dependent systems is experienced by <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong><br />
units the following action shall be taken:<br />
(1) Obtain identification of the station causing harmful<br />
interference. Maximum effort should be made to<br />
identify the interfering station using all means<br />
available. Assistance from other <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> units,<br />
field offices of the FCC and other military commands<br />
should be solicited to help identify, locate and<br />
obtain frequency measurements of the interfering<br />
station if necessary.<br />
(2) If it is determined that the interference is being<br />
caused by a station in the same locality as the <strong>Coast</strong><br />
<strong>Guard</strong> station, endeavor to eliminate the interference<br />
by local arrangements.<br />
(3) If it is determined that the interference is not<br />
local, or if efforts to resolve the problem are<br />
unsuccessful, report the interference as indicated<br />
below:<br />
(a) If the interference impairs the ability of the<br />
unit to perform its mission, prepare a message,<br />
using the data format contained in CG2861 Report<br />
of Radio Interference (figure 5-1), addressed for<br />
action to the appropriate operational commander,<br />
information to the Commandant (G-TIM) and such<br />
other commands as appropriate.<br />
(b) If the interference does not impair the ability<br />
of the unit to perform its mission, submit CG2861<br />
Report of Radio Interference to the Commandant<br />
(G-TIM) with a copy to the reporting unit's Area<br />
Commander, District Commander and copy to the<br />
unit's file.<br />
(4) All cases of harmful interference should be reported.<br />
Separate reports should be made for each recurring<br />
case of harmful interference. A single report which<br />
summarizes a case of harmful interference over a<br />
period of time (not to exceed one month) may be made<br />
after the initial report. Summary reports should<br />
continue until the harmful interference problem is<br />
resolved. In the absence of further reports, or unless<br />
notified otherwise, the Commandant will assume that<br />
the harmful interference problem has ceased or been<br />
resolved.<br />
