The radio regulations often require frequency bands to be shared between radio astronomy and services which transmit. This poses severe problems in a small island, given the sensitivity of radio astronomy receivers. The survival of radio astronomy in these circumstances depends on wide awareness of the problems. Some of the current sharing problems in the UK are discussed.
