- 1984 RTCM ASSEMBLY Maritime Reporter, May 15, 1984 #16
New Orleans, Louisiana — May 29-June 1 The Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) will hold its 1984 Annual Assembly Meeting May 29-June 1 at the Monteleone Hotel in New Orleans, La. The meeting, hosted by the American Waterways Operators, Inc., is being held during the Louisiana World's Fair which opens in New Orleans on May 12.
The RTCM was established in 1947 as a government/industry organization under the aegis of the Department of State. In 1972, after passage of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, it became a Federal Advisory Committee chartered by the Federal Communications Commission. Today, it is structured as a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization.
Today's RTCM is a streamlined version of the original RTCM and has inherited its mantle. All segments of the marine field—government, private industry, labor, environmentalists, consumers—are partners in providing a broad-based overview of the industry. In the interest of Federal economies, government agencies no longer provide funding; however, as a privately supported organization, RTCM's goals remain the same: ". . . to advance the technical quality and professional application of maritime telecommunications for the benefit of all concerned . . ." "Telecommunications" as used by RTCM means any transmission, emission or reception of signs, signals, writing, images, and sounds or intelligence of any nature by wire, radio, optical, and other electromagnetic or visual systems.
Membership in RTCM is open to all United States citizens and organizations having an interest in furthering the objectives of RTCM.
Associate membership is open to foreign citizens and organizations.
During the 1984 Assembly Meeting some 28 technical papers will be read covering a wide range of topics of interest to communications people. The papers will be presented each day, May 30, 31, and June 1, in five sessions.
The keynote luncheon is scheduled for May 30, and the luncheon address "Telecommunications Needs of the Offshore Industry" will be presented by Robert T.
Lober, president, State Boat Corporation, Houston, Texas. A buffet luncheon for all meeting registrants, sponsored by Magnavox Advanced Products and Systems Company, will be held on May 31, after which the electronic equipment manufacturer's display areas will be open. On the final day, June 1, there will be an international luncheon with the address "Inmarsat: Quo Vadis?" by Dr.
Ahmad F. Ghais, director, Technical and Operations Division, International Maritime Satellite Organization.
The four-day affair will have several social events scheduled starting with a welcoming reception on the evening of May 29, sponsored by the 1984 RTCM Booster Club. A Mississippi River dinner cruise on the diesel-electric sternwheeler "Creole Queen" has been set for May 30, and special tour programs in and around New Orleans include a visit to the Vieux Carre (French Quarter), and a bus trip "up river" for a visit to some of the famous antebellum plantation homes in the lower Mississippi Valley.
