Abstract :
The paper describes the provision that has been made at United Kingdom Coast Stations to meet the major requirement for ship/shore communications created by off-shore oil exploration and related activities. The constraints imposed by spectrum shortage and congestion are discussed and an indication given of the magnitude of traffic handled and the performance achieved. The use of developing techniques for future use is also discussed.
