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:
An airborne station, mounted on the Airplane A (Transmitter) will fly at altitudes between 1500 feet and 3000 feet MSL over and around the Mililani Town in tight circles and straight lines within the operating area over the island of Oahu, transmitting a 5W (20MHz bandwidth) reference signal from the wingtip of an airplane or from the belly of a helicopter. A second airplane (Airplane B -- Receiver) will fly 1 to 2km away from the Airplane A in circles and straight lines to receive and digitally record the signal using a signal analyzer. Both vertical and horizontally polarized beam patterns emanating from the dipole antennas on Airplane A will be analyzed

Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Use of aircraft, helicopter and UAV as post-disaster telecom support platform. To evaluate (a) rice factor, (b) excess delay for specular components, (c) decay factor for the diffuse component, as well as (d) doppler spectrum. Mission Objective: Use of aircraft, helicopter and UAV as post-disaster telecom support platform has recently been considered, following the experiences during Hurricane Katrina, as well as through the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Effective antenna designs for ground-to-air, air-to-air, as well as air-to-ground are being undertaken by many researchers. Mokulele Research Corporation wishes to evaluate (a) rice factor, (b) excess delay for specular components, (c) decay factor for the diffuse component, as well as (d) doppler spectrum in the 2250 to 2280 MHz spectrum being requested, as the post-disaster telecom support will likely covered WiFi frequency bands. The proposed spectrum will likely yield valid information for future applications in the WiFi bands. Upon successful measurements in Hawaii, we wish to analyze the data, and subsequently pursue demonstrations at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center
