Special Temporary Authority application - Certification

Applicant certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The Moon Society plans to operate an experimental one watt ISM device for a low power 2.5 GHz beaming demonstration at a public event in Washington DC, May 2008. Prior to this event, Moon Society plans to test the device at contractor workshop in Oregon, USA. Subsequent operation might be requested at other public events, e.g. Denver in August 2008.

Please explain the purpose of operation:
The Moon Society plans to operate an experimental one watt ISM device for a low power 2.5 GHz beaming demonstration at a public event in Washington DC, May 2008. Prior to this event, Moon Society plans to test the device at contractor workshop in Oregon, USA. Project Definition This project will be conducted in three phases: Phase 1 In Phase 1, a design for the table top demo system will be developed and cost estimates prepared for the remaining Phases. Specific tasks to be accomplished include: Prepare electronics block diagram. Determine sources and pricing for off-the-shelf electronic components. Identify components that are not available off-the-shelf. Create designs for components that must be custom made and conduct simulations of proposed designs to verify expected performance. Obtain quotes to fabricate custom-made components. Perform calculations and simulations and conduct measurements on selected components to predict overall system performance. Design the stand(s) and display components. Obtain cost estimates and or quotes to construct stand(s) and display components. Prepare cost estimates and budgets to complete Phases 2 and 3. Phase 2 In Phase 2, one complete working prototype of the system will be constructed and performance will be measured to verify that project goals are met. On completion of Phase 2, the prototype will be available for use as a demonstrator. It is likely that a small quantity of the custom made parts will be obtained at the same time as the prototype parts to gain more favorable pricing.
