Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
I would like to get permission to operate our HF radar (CODAR) systems by November 2004, when they are due to be installed and set up, for testing purposes, and to verify that the systems are working properly. This would also better accomodate the schedules of the support personell from CODAR Ocean Sensors Inc. that will assist in the installation. This would be a temporary measure while our regular license application is pending (file #: 0206-EX-PL-2004)
