In the table I assume D is down, U is up, L is left and R is right. What are O and U? Also, in the notes column, what does A/C stand for? Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I just can't fathom what they mean… |

I reckon O and U are over and under… |

In the rate column, O and C are opening and closing range. In the spotting column, U/D/L/R are range up and down and bearing left and right. In the remarks column, A/C is alter course. |

Thanks for clarrifying O, C and A/C (in my post I mistakenly asked abou U, I blame my fingers for not following my brain's explicit instructions). Green is starboard and red is port, so the numbers are bearing on either side. |
