Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: An Agency of the U.S. Government has requested that MITRE design, develop and demonstrate a special over-the-horizon communication system. The proposed proof-of-concept system would transmit a specific waveform on a non-interference bases at five (5) different HF frequencies, 6.6 MHz, 7.9 MHz, 10.6 MHz, 11.6 MHz and 12.7 MHz at an average RF power of 150 Watts (22 dBW).

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Design, develop and demonstrate a special over-the-horizon communication system. The proposed operation would consist of a series of communication experiments from from 0300 to 1000 UT from 29 August 2005 to 10 September 2005. During these experiments the stations will communicate using five (5) cycles of a 1500 Hz tone every 10.667 microseconds at five different radion frequencies, 6.6 MHz, 7.9 MHz, 10.6 MHz, 11.6 MHz and 12.7 MHz.

Certification

Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
