This paper documents the events leading to the development of the maritime mobile VHF allocation structure in the United States in 1948 (Special Committee 7 of Radio Technical Commission for Marine Services). The establishment of a multichannel structure and basic rules for system operation are explained. The paper describes the subsequent adoption of the structure (FCC Rules and Regulations, 1952) by the maritime nations of Europe at the Hague, Holland, in 1957 and by the countries of the world at the International Radio Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, 1959. The availability, after 1968, of low-cost multichannel equipment, coupled with the increased channel availability of the new Rules set in motion a steady growth in usage by small vessels.
