Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The purpose is to test, demonstrate and evaluate a direction finding algorithm for radar applications. *NOTE* A 5-megahertz channel anywhere within the 420 - 450 MHz range will enable these tests. We are applying for 425- 430 MHz based on our belief that this 5 megahertz may be utilized less than some of the other frequencies within this range.
