(a) Width of beam in degrees at the half-power point: 61.00
(b) Orientation in horizontal plane: 190.00
(c) Orientation in vertical plane:
Will the antenna extend more than 6 meters above the ground, or if mounted on an existing building, will it extend more than 6 meters above the building, or will the proposed antenna be mounted on an existing structure other than a building? No
(a) Overall height above ground to tip of antenna in meters: 18.70
(b) Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters: 181.70
(c) Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers: 5.60
(d) List any natural formations of existing man-made structures (hills, trees, water tanks, towers, etc.) which, in the opinion of the applicant, would tend to shield the antenna from aircraft: The facility will operate from an existing building with no increase in overall height.
