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.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An STA is needed to measure the air-to-ground propagation loss in high clutter environments. These propagation models are needed for spectrum sharing applications between commercial terrestrial and airborne DoD users. These tests support the public good because they support the development of propagation models that are critical for defense and commercial applications.
Special Temporary Authority application - Information
Callsign:
WK9XNE
Class of Station:
MO
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
This system is an instrumentation system that measures that propagation loss from multiple terrestrial-based transmitters to an airborne receiver. There are four, mobile independent transmitters. Each transmitter uses a narrow bandwidth signal (< 10 Hz) on a slightly different frequency (several kHz apart) to enable the receiver to distinguish the different signals so that path loss of each path can simultaneously be determined. The receiver is elevated and enables different signal elevations to be measured (1° angle bins for 1-10° , 10° angle bins for 10-60°). The tests will be short duration. Each of the above tests will last for a few days within the time window requested. The tests on each day will last 12 hours or less.
