              conducted by qualified personnel; and
          c. All operations will be on an experimental basis in accordance with Part 5 and other applicable rules, and will be
              conducted in such a manner and at such a time as to preclude harmful interference to any authorized station;
              and
          d. Grant of the authorization requested herein will not be construed as a finding on the part of the Commission:
                  1 . that the frequencies and other technical parameters specified in the authorization are the best suited
                      for the proposed program of experimentation, and
                  2 . that the applicant will be authorized to operate on any basis other than experimental, and
                  3 . that the Comission is obligated by the results of the experimental program to make provision in its
                      rules including its table of frequency allocations for applicant's type of operation on a regularly licensed
                      basis.

     THE APPLICANT FURTHER CERTIFIES THAT:

          e . All the statements in the application and attached exhibits are true, complete and correct to the best of the
