Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:

This regards a request by Broad Comm, Inc. (Broad Comm) for Special Temporary Authority (STA) to allow use of a number of frequencies to provide video and aural coverage to a number of television stations as well as ground support and logistics for the Red Bull Air Race World Series 2018 event at Indianapolis, IN (October 1 through October 9, 2018). This is a major international event and this application includes setup and pre/post event activities that will take place over the period noted above. The actual location for the event will be the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, IN and within a radius of 16.0 km. This is a very large and potentially hazardous events for the pilots and the many thousands of attendees. Public Safety concerns are paramount at events of this magnitude, where coordination and communications have been issues in the past and the consequences have been tragic. Good communications, both audio and video, is key to minimizing the risks to the public and the pilots. Wireless video cameras will continually monitor the speeding planes as they navigate the race course. The timing and risk is comparable to the Blue Angels, with the added uncertainty of a true air race. The significant majority of the frequency bands being applied for have been used previously at air races of this kind. The frequencies and the number of units requested are what is considered necessary for an event of this magnitude. The use of frequencies in TV channel 6 are not anticipated to cause interference in that there are no TV stations operating on channels 5 or 6 within 100 km of the event site. Likewise there are no FM stations operating in the adjacent spectrum within 40 km of the event site. Please note that some operation in the 902 to 928 MHz band will be for airborne use (telemetry from aircraft ) at an altitude not to exceed 300 above ground.
