British Post Office trans-horizon radio links serving off-shore oil/gas production platforms

This paper provides an outline description of the Post Office trans-horizon radio link services to off-shore oil/gas production platforms and takes a brief look into the future. It also compares the result of using different methods of predicting the statistical behaviour of the radio path transmission loss, and offers a possible method to give an estimate of the cumulative distribution of scatter loss for trans-horizon radio links operating in the North Sea.
