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:   12.00
(b) Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters:   292.00
(c) Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers:   1.00
(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: Nearest aircraft landing area is Possum Kingdom Airport-F35 about 19.3 km to the west. Figure 4 in the attachment shows areas of tall trees, crops and sporadic located buildings that would help to attenuate or contain the frequency emissions. Figure 4 also shows the primary test area of Wrangler Field. Wrangler Field is owned by Bell Textron. This test area is deep in the country and surrounded by miles and miles of agricultural farm land.
