                ** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has completed an aeronautical study under the
provisions of 49 U.S.C., Section 44718 and, if applicable, Title 14 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
    Structure Type:   U.S. AIR FORCE ANTENNA INSTALLATION
    Location:         HALFMOON BAY, CA
    Latitude:         37-30-54.77 NAD 83
    Longitude:        122-22-44.9
    Heights:          40 feet above ground level (AGL)
                      1055 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)

This aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction
standards and would not be a hazard to air navigation provided the following
condition(s), if any, is(are) met:
To coordinate frequency activation and verify that no interference is caused
to FAA facilities, prior to beginning any transmission from the site you must
contact FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT @ 310 725-3669.
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation
safety. However, if marking and/or lighting are accomplished on a voluntary
basis, we recommend it be installed and maintained in accordance with FAA
Advisory Circular 70/7460-1 70/7460-1K.
This determination expires on 04/21/2007 unless:

     (a)   extended, revised or terminated by the issuing office.
     (b)   the construction is subject to the licensing authority of
           the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and an
           application for a construction permit has been filed , as
           required by the FCC, within 6 months of the date of this
           determination. In such case, the determination expires on
           the date prescribed by the FCC for completion of
           construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.

NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION
MUST BE POSTMARKED OR DELIVERED TO THIS OFFICE AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE
EXPIRATION DATE.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes
specific coordinates, heights, frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in
coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power will void this
determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to
heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice
to the FAA.

This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes,
derricks, etc., which may be used during actual construction of the structure.
However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as indicated above.
Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate
notice to the FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and
efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor
of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or regulation of
any Federal, State, or local government body.
A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications
Commission if the structure is subject to their licensing authority.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office at (310)725-6557.
On any future correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to Aeronautical
Study Number 2005-AWP-3874-OE.

                       Additional Information for ASN 2005-AWP-3874-OE

THE FOLLOWING PROVISION FROM FAA FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT MUST BE MET:

FREQUENCIES;

1010.0   MHZ   WITH   COORDINATION   #   NG   T050306
1025.0   MHZ   WITH   COORDINATION   #   NG   T050307
1030.0   MHZ   WITH   COORDINATION   #   NG   T0503010
1060.0   MHZ   WITH   COORDINATION   #   NG   T050308
1090.0   MHZ   WITH   COORDINATION   #   NG   T050311
1095.0   MHZ   WITH   COORDINATION   #   NG   T050309,

SHALL BE USED WITH AUTHORIZED POWER OF 0.5 WATT (ERP).

THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE AUTHORIZED WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE VERTICAL BEAM WIDTH TOP
EDGE DOES NOT EXTEND ABOVE THE DOME OF THE RECEIVING STATION.

THE FREQUENCY 1110 MHZ SHALL NOT BE USED DUE TO POTENTIAL OF INTERFERENCE TO FAA
FACILITY CRITICAL TO AVIATION SAFETY.

ONLY FREQUENCIES 3150 MHZ AND 3450 MHZ WITH 1 WATT (ERP) SHALL BE USED WITHIN THE 3000
MHZ TO 3600 MHZ BAND.

THE BAND 3500 MHZ TO 3700 MHZ SHALL NOT BE USED DUE TO POTENTIAL OF INTERFERENCE TO
FAA FACILITIES CRITICAL TO AVIATION SAFETY OPERATING IN THAT FREQUENCY BAND.

IF TRANSMISSIONS PRESENT INTERFERENCE TO FAA FACILITIES, PROPONENT WILL CEASE
TRANSMISSIONS IMMEDIATELY UNTIL INTERFERENCE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED.

FCC LICENCE IS        REQUIRED PRIOR TO OPERATION.
