Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Texzon is developing systems for the excitation of terrestrial electromagnetic surface waves (Zenneck surface waves, not Norton ground waves) with the ultimate intent of more efficient broadcast signaling without the current issues associated with ionosphere skip interference. The equipment to be used is experimental and proprietary and is entirely of a prototype nature.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Texzon is a startup technology company focused in the fields of energy storage and distribution. Texzon will be recording precise field strength measurements at the requested frequency ranges using low frequency spectrum analyzers and calibrated antennas. The purpose of the test is to determine the efficiency of design of the prototype and validate the science of the terrestrial EM surface wave for use in signaling. Importantly, Texzon believes such testing will be non-radiating – which will limit the interference effects to any other party in the spectrum bands under test. The system under test will be used to demonstrate the science and applications of Zenneck surface waves and is a precursor to a larger demonstration of this new signaling technology. The STA is needed to tune and test the demonstration apparatus. Once tuned, Texzon will be able to better explain the science for the purposes of obtaining an experimental license.
