STA Application 0597-EX-ST-2014 Frequency Coordination Exhibit and Narrative Explanation Indianapolis, Indiana MotoGP Grand Prix Motorcycle Race August 6, 2014 through August 10, 2014 This application proposes the use of unused television broadcast channels; amateur radio and land mobile radio channels, and microwave channels in the limited area of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway racing course in Indianapolis, IN for a limited time in August of this year. The purpose of this use, for two-way operational and race team communications, security communications, video production and wireless microphones during the international MotoGP Grand Prix Motorcycle race event (the “Red Bull Indianapolis GP”) and for testing and race qualifications prior to the race event. The applicant will coordinate with the SBE frequency coordinator for the Indianapolis market and will make no use of channels in use by on-air television stations or low-power television stations on the subject channels within a 50 km radius of the proposed operation area. However, should any television broadcast station report interference during the proposed operations, operation on that channel will immediately cease and not resume unless and until the interference complaint is resolved. The stop-buzzer contact for this proposed operation is Mr. David Fort, who will be on-site at all relevant times and his mobile telephone number is 317-225-8114. The application also proposes the use of land mobile and Amateur Radio frequencies for international race team operations, for video production and for telemetry. The use of amateur allocations in this STA application at will be coordinated with the American Radio Relay League, Incorporated and the local amateur radio frequency coordinator, the Indiana Repeater Council. Land mobile channels in the 450-470 MHz band to be utilized during the race event have been investigated and monitored by Dorna Sports, S.L. technical staff and independent contractors and found to be unoccupied. SBE Frequency Coordinator David Fort of Indianapolis and Mr. Michel Aran of Dorna Sports, S.L. will be on site during the race and channel monitoring and on-site frequency coordination will insure against any interference. Given the location of these events, it is anticipated that no interference will be caused to any Amateur Radio, land mobile or broadcast auxiliary operations. Use of broadcast channels will be coordinated in advance with the Society of Broadcast Engineers local frequency coordinator for the Indianapolis market. Upon receipt of any complaint of interference from a licensed Amateur Radio user, land mobile licensee or broadcast entity (or otherwise), operation pursuant to this STA will cease on the channel complained about, and will not resume unless and until the interference complaint is resolved satisfactorily to the licensee. The same policy will apply to any use of the 412-420 MHz and 1280-2290 MHz channels. With respect to the 2180-2290 MHz band, this was approved for use at a 1

different race venue in Austin, Texas during November of 2012 for a Formula One automobile race and in April of 2013 for an identical motorcycle race at that same venue without any interference whatsoever. This band will be used only for video transmission. This STA application is virtually identical to that applied for and granted to Circuit of the Americas for an identical motorcycle race in 0242-EX-ST-2013 and it is identical to the STA granted to this applicant, for this same event, at this same venue last year.
