Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Production Radio Rentals, Inc. (PRR) is a member of the Coalition of Wireless Microphone Users (CWMU), which has been actively involved in the Commissions White Spaces proceeding (WT Dockets Nos. 08-166 and 08-167 and ET Dockets Nos. 04-186 and 02-380) advocating for the protection of wireless microphones used in theatres, sports arenas, houses of worship, and educational settings. Proponents of new unlicensed TV Band Devices (TVBDs) have suggested that such equipment may be able to operate at certain distances from wireless microphones without causing harmful interference. CWMU would like to conduct tests to determine whether a reduced or variable TVBD exclusion zone around wireless microphone operations could be workable.

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Production Radio Rentals, Inc. (PRR) is a member of the Coalition of Wireless Microphone Users (CWMU), which has been actively involved in the Commission?s ?White Spaces? proceeding (WT Dockets Nos. 08-166 and 08-167 and ET Dockets Nos. 04-186 and 02-380) advocating for the protection of wireless microphones used in theatres, sports arenas, houses of worship, and educational settings.

CWMU would like to conduct tests to determine whether a reduced or variable TVBD exclusion zone around wireless microphone operations could be workable.
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
PRR seeks Special Temporary Authority to operate a simulated TVBD in the vicinity of Times Square, New York City. The device would operate within one 6 MHz TV channel in the range of UHF TV channels 21-51 (512-698 MHz) using an actual bandwidth of less than 6 MHz. The device would have a maximum power level of 0.1W (100 mW) ERP. Its emissions would comply with OFDM and 8-VSB (ATSC) standards. The testing would be under the supervision of experienced audio RF engineers from PRR and Masque Sound and Recording. Other audio and RF professionals intend to observe the tests. Specific times, locations, and channels will be selected in close coordination with Society of Broadcast Engineers (?SBE?) personnel in New York City (the SBE 15 coordinator) to avoid interference with any broadcast television operations and any other wireless microphone use. Initial testing would involve setup, calibration, and measurements in a shielded environment. Following this, field tests would be conducted at various points within 1 km of 346 West 44th Street, ?Shubert Alley? (Lat.: N40-45-28; Long: W73-59-12). PRR expects initial setup to take no more than ten (10) hours and field testing to take no more than two (2) continuous hours, but requests flexibility given the need for extensive coordination in the heavily used Times Square frequency environment.
