MRTC Motorsport Communications MRTC, Ltd. STA Application 1548-EX-ST-2017 Frequency Coordination Exhibit and Narrative Austin, Texas Hankook 24-hour Automobile Race November 9, 2017 through November 12, 2017 This application proposes the use of VHF land mobile channels in the Austin, Texas area for terrestrial only, voice communications for racing cars and communications with pit crews of the race teams; and for two-way operational communications during the Hankook 24-hour automobile race event and for testing prior to the event within and immediately surrounding the Circuit of the Americas Race Track. The event is scheduled to begin on 9 November and end 12 November, 2017. An engineering analysis has shown that there should be no interference to any licensed user of any of the subject channels whatsoever, and the frequency list is otherwise similar to that which was granted by the Commission at prior events at this venue. Should any FCC-licensed or United States government station report interference during the proposed operations, operation on that channel or band will immediately cease and not resume unless and until the interference complaint is resolved. However, during the past three years’ prior events using these same frequencies, no interference has been reported whatsoever. There are on-site coordinators for this event who are charged with interference avoidance and mitigation. The frequency ranges set forth herein are a subset of those requested for and granted by STA to Circuit of the Americas, LLC previously for other racing events at this venue. Upon receipt of any complaint of interference from a licensed Amateur Radio user, land mobile licensee or broadcast entity, or government 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 undersigned counsel will be the United States’ stop buzzer contact. All other communications can also be directed to the office of counsel for MRTC Motorsports Communications : Christopher D.
