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.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
To demonstrate beaming technology. 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.
