AFTRCC concurs with the proposed experimental use of the bands 2310 to 2320 MHz, and 2345 to 2360 MHz bands use as stated in the attachments and message below and assigns ICN 0000-08 for the period January 4, 2008 through March 4, 2008. All operations must be a non-interference basis to aeronautical telemetry operations being conducted simultaniously in the band 2360 to 2390 MHz. Courtesy copies of this coordination are being provided to known aeronautical telemetry spectrum users, and to the DoD Eastern Area Frequency coordinator. Darryl J.

The FCC has requested that we coordinate use of the frequency bands 2310-2320 and 2345 to 2360 MHz and obtain a coordination letter from AFTRCC prior to further processing of our application. Note that this request does not involve the installation of any new SDARS repeater facilities so the parameters described in our existing coordination agreement do not apply. However, we have attached the following information for your consideration: 1. Copy of the experimental license request 1

2. FCC request for coordination 3. A line of site analysis for each of the locations listed in the experimental filing to the nearest AFTRCC location showing that only location 6 has line of site. Also contained in this analysis is a calculation of the anticipated received "in band" and out of band power levels from our test transmitter for location 6. As you will see from the experimental request, the transmitters will use less than 20 watts EIRP at 6 meters or less height above the ground. These tests will be of limited duration (the application requests 60 days of testing authority) and would be performed to provide meaningful contributions to the FCC's recently released NPRM on the long standing issues that have existed in terms of adjacent band operations between the WCS band and the SDARS band. While our analysis indicates that these proposed tests will not affect AFTRCC operations, we would be amenable to notifying AFTRCC on a real-time basis prior to the commencement of transmissions. If you require further information or have questions about this information please call me at 917 359 9579. Otherwise, we would appreciate an email response concurring with this proposed test. In view of the impending NPRM, Sirius would appreciate your earliest consideration of this matter. Thanks, Alan Pate 2
