Datum:  NAD 83 Is a directional antenna (other than radar) used?   No Exhibit submitted:   No (a) Width of beam in degrees at the half-power point:   (b) Orientation in horizontal plane:   (c) Orientation in vertical plane:   Will the antenna extend more than 6 meters above the ground, or if mounted on an existing building, will it extend more than 6 meters above the building, or will the proposed antenna be mounted on an existing structure other than a building?   Yes (a) Overall height above ground to tip of antenna in meters:   11.20 (b) Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters:   15.00 (c) Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers:   7.40 (d) List any natural formations of existing man-made structures (hills, trees, water tanks, towers, etc.) which, in the opinion of the applicant, would tend to shield the antenna from aircraft: Rocket is shorter than Astra building. It is less than 60 feet tall when fully erect and not an aviation hazard
