Laurel Technologies Partnership
File No. 0318-EX-RR-2013 (Ref. 21420)

Mr. Ghaffari:

As you will recall, in my October 24 email below, I advised that Laurel Technologies Partnership would go
back to FAA and request a re-freshed FAA coordination for the frequencies 9050 MHz and 9350 MHz on
Station WE2XQM, based on your previous email dated October 18 (see below).

This is to advise you that the company did promptly make such supplemental request for FAA
coordination for these frequencies, and is continuing to follow-up with FAA to obtain such coordination as
soon as possible. To date, however, the coordination report has not yet been provided by FAA.

In light of the fact that Laurel Technologies Partnership is continuing to pursue to FAA coordination in
good faith, it is respectfully requested that an additional 15 days be afforded to complete the coordination.

Thank you in advance for your favorable consideration of this request.

Best regards,

Jeff Rummel
Attorney for Laurel Technologies Partnership

Mr. Ghaffari:

Thank you for your note on this.

I will go back to FAA and ask them to conduct a new regional coordination based on your comments.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could allow an additional 30 days for us to seek this coordination
– would that be acceptable?

Best regards,

Jeff Rummel

Mr. Rummel,

The referenced 2 frequencies will be expired in GMF as well as on the experimental license on Dec 1,
2013 ,in which these 2 records (freq.’s) will be kicked out of it thereafter. Nevertheless, in order for
your renewal application to be processed with respect to these 2 frequencies, a prior coordination with
the regional FAA office and obtaining NGT numbers is required.

Ref. 21420

Mr. Ghaffari:

In reply to your inquiry issued on 9/5/2013 (Ref. 21420) requesting FAA coordination of the frequencies
9050 MHz and 9350 MHz on Station WE2XQM, in connection with the pending renewal application under
File No. 0318-EX-RR-2013, this is to advise you that the FAA has transmitted the following reply:

Subject: Re: Laurel Technologies Partnership - Request for FAA Coordination - Pending Renewal of FCC
Experimental License WE2XQM

Mr. Rummel,
Because the licenses do not expire until December 2013, there is no further action required of the FAA at
this time. I have sent a response to our HQ requesting confirmation.
Normally I would await a response, but given the requested due date and the possibility of a government
shutdown I wanted to provide you with some information.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (or my manager, Stephanie Thomas) if
we are shutdown.

Regards,
Charles A. Thornton, Jr.
Spectrum Engineering
AJW-1C5
office: 404-305-6253

Accordingly, at this time, the FAA apparently believes that no additional coordination is required due to
the timing of the license’s expiration. Although Mr. Thornton indicates that he has requested
confirmation from FAA headquarters, we have not received further information from FAA, as the
government shut-down has just commenced.

Please advise what additional steps you wish for the applicant to take, if any, with respect to your request
for FAA coordination.

Finally – please note that to ensure that this message is transmitted within the 30 day period
specified in Ref. 21420, this message is being sent to you directly via email. Once the government
shutdown is over, a copy of this reply will be submitted via ELS.

Respectfully submitted,

Jeff Rummel
Attorney for Laurel Technologies Partnership
