these events, by the frequency coordinators of the Society of Broadcast Engineers in the San
Francisco and northern California broadcast market, and on site by the NFL Frequency
Organization Group (aka Game Day Coordinators) of the National Football League. However,
this application proposes the use of frequencies that are allocated on a primary basis to the
Amateur Radio Service. Operation will be coordinated in advance with ARRL, the national
association for Amateur Radio, and with local Amateur Radio frequency coordinating entities in
the listed metro areas.

Should any interference be reported, Winged Vision STA operation will cease immediately and
not resume until resolved to the satisfaction of the licensee(s) affected.
