Sec. 22.1007 Channels for offshore radiotelephone systems.
The channels listed in this section are allocated for paired
assignment to transmitters located in the specified geographical zones
that provide offshore radiotelephone service. All channels have a
bandwidth of 20 kHz and are designated by their center frequencies in
MegaHertz.
(a) Zone A--Southern Louisiana. The geographical area in Zone A is
bounded as follows:
From longitude W.87 deg.45' on the East to longitude W.94 deg.00' on
the West and from the 4.8 kilometer (3 mile) limit along the Gulf of
Mexico shoreline on the North to the limit of the Outer Continental
Shelf on the South.
(1) These channels may be assigned for use by offshore central
(base/fixed) or subscriber stations (fixed, temporary fixed, surface
and/or airborne mobile) as indicated, for voice-grade general
communications:

(8) Interstitial channels. Interstitial channels are those with
center frequencies offset by &177;12.5 kHz from the listed center
frequencies. The FCC may assign interstitial channels to offshore
stations in Zone A subject to the following conditions:
(i) Offshore stations transmitting on interstitial channels must be
located east of W.92 deg. longitude.
(ii) Operations on interstitial channels are considered to be
secondary to operations on channels with the listed center frequencies.
(iii) Offshore stations operating on interstitial channels must be
used only for voice grade general communications or to provide for
private line service.
Note to paragraph (a) of Sec. 22.1007: These channels are contained
in UHF TV Channel 17.
(b) Zone B--Southern Louisiana--Texas. (1) The geographical area in
Zone B is bounded as follows:
From longitude W.87 deg.45' on the East to longitude W.95 deg.00' on
the West and from the 4.8 kilometer (3 mile) limit along the Gulf of
Mexico shoreline on the North to the limit of the Outer Continental
Shelf on the South.
(2) These channels may be assigned for use by offshore central
(base/fixed) or subscriber stations (fixed, temporary fixed, surface
and/or airborne mobile) as indicated, for voice-grade general
communications and private line service:
