World Dredging Ass'n

New Midwest Chapter

To Meet February 28

The Midwest Chapter of North

America of the World Dredging

Association announces its first chapter meeting to be held Thurs- day, February 28, 1974, in St. Louis,

Mo., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the St.

Louis Hilton Airport Inn.

The chapter will be dedicated to the advancement of dredging tech- nology, including the design and construction of dredges and the techniques and systems used in dredging operations. It will encom- pass a 16-state area and include the

Canadian Province of Ontario. The

Midwest states include: Arkansas,

Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,

Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,

Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota,

South Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,

Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

In order to "focus-in" on the three major areas of concern to dredging in the Midwest, the meet- ing shall consist of a morning workshop session devoted to con- tract dredging, sand and gravel $10 a watt.

With an EB 1500 radio station, your master can dial you directly. From the North Sea, the Persian Gulf, or anywhere in the world.

Anytime.

The cost: only $10 per watt. Compared to a $3600,150 watt SSB that gives you only limited talk power—for $24 a watt!!

No other radio station in the EB 1500 price class even comes close in power and range. You'll be able to arrange for earlier docking, faster turnaround and immediate diversions. With that kind of savings your

EB 1500 will pay for itself fast, while increas- ing vessel and crew safety.

And that's just the beginning. The EB 1500 has synthesized circuitry so there are no crystals to cause trouble or break down.

It has modular design, so expensive, time- consuming repairs are practically eliminated.

And performance—the EB 1500 performs so well it's approved by every foreign flag maritime authority in the world. And it's so rugged and reliable, we give you a unique guarantee—one full year on parts and labor.

In writing. In short, the EB 1500 is an excel- lent investment, both for your new ships, and for upgrading your existing equipment.

And that's real economy. • No crystals... completely synthesized. • Auto tuning. • One year warranty on parts and labor. • World-wide service by factory-trained repairmen. • Most economical installation of any marine radio —by far. • More than competitively priced. • Ideal for retrofitting and upgrading existing equipment.
