Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Argon ST intends to radiate a Continuous wave/unmodulated (CW) signal at frequencies in the amateur (a.k.a. ham), marine, and GMRS/FRS bands for short bursts during a test of an aircraft payload. The transmitter will be at a fixed ground location during these tests. Power levels will be up to 5 watts (8 watts EIRP with 5 dB gain antennas) and the frequencies to be used are 144.0125 MHz, 146.0125 MHz, 148.0125 MHz, 156.0125 MHz, 158.0125 MHz, 160.0125 MHz, 162.0125 MHz, 164.0125 MHz, 462.0125 MHz, 464.0125 MHz, 466.0125 MHz, and 468.0125 MHz. The test will take approximately four hours during one day. A test set will cycle through each of these frequencies (listed above), transmitting a CW at each frequency for precisely one second. After the frequency list is complete, the cycle repeats itself. NOTE: The frequencies above are somewhat arbitrary and could be moved slightly if required.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Argon ST, as a contractor involved in a U.S. Military Program, is developing radio direction finding equipment for use on small aircraft. During flights for the sole purpose of this experiment, a cooperative emitter at a fixed ground location will be radiating to evaluate the on-board equipment.
