Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Over a period of approximately two hours on a week-end between January 18 - 22 Feb 14, (weather permitting) we will conduct a balloon test demonstration of the proposed satellite system. A Transceiver will transmit a 2.5 GHz VNW frequency signal at approximately 1W power towards a ballon between 0 and 30 Km altitude, and a transceiver will transmit a 1.6 GHZ Tactical frequency signal to the ground from the balloon between 0 and 230 Km altitude. Over this two hour period. The two hour period is most likely between Dawn and 9:00 AM on the test date Location of proposed operation is within an approximately 100 Km radius from 34°59”2.41”N , 117°45”6.19”W.
