This article describes the development, by a group of West European ad
ministrations, of a method for evaluating the compatibility between VH
F/FM broadcasting transmissions and the aeronautical radionavigation s
ervices which operate in the frequency band of about 108 to 118 MHz. I
n addition to a calculation method, the group also developed a set of
administrative procedures and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The
method and the procedures have now been in use for several years and
have resulted in the successful coordination of many hundreds of VHF/F
M stations while maintaining full compatibility with the aeronautical
radionavigation services.
