ge The size of the contaminated area will be given in approxi
mate nautical miles in the north-south direction, followed by the approximate nautical miles in the east-west direction e.g., "50 slash 20",
h. The approximate center of the contaminated area should be
given in nautical miles, in relation to a known fix.
i.
If determinable, the leading edge of the contaminated area
should be identified by the code name "GILDA ABLE", and its approximate
distance from a known fix should be given in nautical miles,

EXAMPLE:
"This is SAND BLASTER THO/Swect-sour-report/one six three zero/
four zero west of (fix)/ten thousand/one one/GILDA six zero/
fous zero/five zero northwest of (fix)/ GILDA ABLE six zero west
of
(fix)."
"SAND BLASTER TWO radiation report for 1630 local, 40 NM west
of (fix), 10,000', 100 to 500 mr/hr, area of cloud 60 NM northsouth by 40 NM east-west, entered at 50 NM northwest of (fix),
leading edge is at 60 NM east-west of (fix)."
