Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:
Applicant is a video production company which provides video for broadcast, satellite broadcast and cablecast of sporting and other events. Applicant has certain LTTS, BAS and private wireless licenses for this purpose. However, the applicant has been engaged to provide video production services for the upcoming horse racing event at the Santa Anita Racetrack in Santa Anita, CA from October 21through October 26, 2008. Available channels for voice audio to coordinate video production activities are extremely limited due to use by other licensees in the Santa Anita area. Applicant requires the use of an additional UHF channel for portable, two-way voice communications for this event on a short-term, temporary basis. Proposed is the use of 476-482 MHz, Television channel 15. Applicant has conducted an interference study using the Commissions television channel database. Due to the low Output power and ERP, no interference to television viewers is expected. Should any interference be complained of, applicant will cease use of the 476-482 MHz band immediately, unless or until remediated. The Commission has previously granted an identical STA for these events at this location in the past.
