Give the following information of person who can best handle inquiries pertaining to this application:   Last Name: Stoutenburgh First Name: Tobias Title: Mr. Phone Number: (267)242-1009

Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: An STA is necessary because the frequency that we are requesting to use will only be used until May 18th, 2006. I am a senior and Electrical Engineer Major at Temple University. This project is a major requirement for graduation for a Bachelors of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The purpose of the operation of the transmitter will aid in the search and rescue of avalanche victims. The transmitter will be used in conjuction with an autonomous robot that the user will carry on their back. The robot that will be constructed will drill its way to the surface of the snow and transmit a rescue signal to a fixed based station. The reason for the drill is to allow the transmission signal to be unimpeded by the snow.
