Gallant, Manager, Central Service Area Spectrum Engineering Subject: COORDINATION OF FREQUENCIES FOR SPECIAL AERONAUTICAL EVENTS This Memorandum does not provide authority to transmit. It only satisfies the prerequisite to coordinate with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A transmit authorization, or license must be obtained from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). You MUST NOT transmit on these frequencies until you receive the license from the FCC. Please include the FAA coordination numbers on the FCC application to expedite the processing. In response to your request, the FAA has engineered three Very High Frequencies (VHF)s for use in the Fort Worth Texas Motor Speedway Airshow. If authorized by the FCC, operation on these frequencies for advisory service is limited to the area and conditions indicated below: Start and end dates: September 20 through September 29, 2015 Transmitter/Receiver Location City: Fort Worth State: Texas Airport ID or FAA Facility ID (if applicable): Texas Motor Speedway Coordinates: N33° 02' 11.85", W097° 16' 52.69" Terrain Elevation (AMSL): 632 ft.

M121.05 cannot work this year for this event because M121.05 has been assigned to Palm Springs special event. I engineered M121.65 to replace M121.05. I was told for more Policy from Headquarters: please advise the requester to submit to FCC for STA, and requester needs to make sure to receive STA from FCC before the event 30 days or less. If they don't receive anything from FCC up to one week before the event, then they need to contact FCC the 2nd time for STA. To apply the STA (Special Temporary Authorization) from FCC: ‐Please fill out Form 602 (sometimes FCC calls it 601) from FCC online. Here is the link to the form: http://transition.fcc.gov/Forms/Form601/601ps.pdf ‐The radio service code is: AF 1

‐The station class is FAC ‐The power (ERP) should be the output power of the VHF radio. Antenna gain is zero (0). Hope FCC not asking ERP along a given radial, since the antenna is non‐directional. Make sure the application states it is for a communications radio, not a Navaids. ‐Antenna elevation is the height of the antenna above Mean Sea Level (in meters). Antenna height is the height of the antenna above the ground (in meters). ‐ If this doesn't help, please contact the FCC's Help Desk, at 1‐888‐225‐5322, Option 2. ‐They should be able to help you complete the form. Just tell them you are trying to get an STA for an Airshow. ‐In box 3a), please select S for Special Temporary Authorization (STA) ‐If they ask for coordination , you can enter the AS T#. Thanks.

Attached is the Air show frequency application form. I copied what we did last year as it seemed to work very well. We are requesting 4 AirBoss frequencies like we used last year. This will all be done in Coordination with Nellis. Below you will find all of the additional information you asked for last year. We are a week later this year but I wanted to make sure you have plenty of time for the frequency request. Please let me know if you have any questions for me.

From Headquarters, 6 days or less, air show frequency (within 400 nm from the border) does not need to coordinate with Mexico.

If 5 days is a problem still with Mexico, then we could cut off Oct 13th and just use the frequencies for four days. Just let me know what works for you, Thank you, 5

I was not aware of the 7 day requirement so we definitely don’t want to make things difficult. In discussions with the Nellis folks they have a standard freq. that they would like us to use on Monday to Wednesday, October 6-8. Therefore, we request our Frequencies to be operable from Thursday morning, October 9, through Monday afternoon, October 13, 2014. Additionally, when I originally filled out the request I had asked for 3 frequencies, can I ask for 4 frequencies? After speaking with Nellis I think that would be better. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions for me,,, VR, Jim On Sep 19, 2014, at 7:13 AM, Phuong.Duong@faa.gov wrote: Hi Jim DiMatteo, 6

I have received your request. I have question: Air Show Frequency Application has required date Oct 6‐Oct 13, 2014. Your email dated Aug 26 has required date Oct 11‐12, 2014. Please confirm required date (Start date/End date) for me. The reason I need to verify because if we need Air Show frequencies 7 days or more, we need to have more time to have Mexican coordination.
