                    Dear Ms. Dortch:

                                This letter is submitted on behalf of Fox Television Stations, Inc.
                ("FTS") to advise the Commission that the acts necessary to complete construction
                for certain antennas at the above—referenced facilities have been completed.
                Specifically, construction has been competed for the antennas identified as 1A, 2A,
                2B, 3A, 4A, and 4B in the above—referenced licenses.

                               As required by the conditions set forth in the licenses issued
                September 5, 2007, FTS certifies that the facilities have been constructed as
                authorized and that each antenna has been tested and is within 2 dB of the pattern
                specified in Section 25.209 of the Commuission‘s rules. Attached hereto please find
                an excerpt from a Field Test Report prepared by VertexRSI, the manufacturer of the
                antennas, confirming that the facilities are operating in compliance with the
                Commission‘s rules. Also attached is a copy of a report confirming that the facilities
                comply with the Commission‘s rules with respect to radiation exposure.

                 In addition, please accept this letter as notification that FTS will
commence operation of the facilities described herein on December 14, 2007. The
facilities will remain operational during the license period unless FTS submits the
licenses to the Commission for cancellation.

               Should you have any questions concerning this matter, kindly contact
the undersigned.

                                            Respectfully submitted,

1.0      INTRODUCTION

        The purpose of this document is to present the results of the transmit, receive and control system
        site acceptance tests. The tests present in this report were conducted using the VertexRSI
        corresponding test procedures. The tests were required after the recent installation of the
        antennas. The antennas, located in FOX Networks Earth Station in The Woodlands, Texas are 6
        each 9.0 meter King Post mounted Cassegrain antenna systems with four ports, C—Band, linear
        polarized (LP) frequency reuse feed sub—system.




2.0      SUMMARY

         The RF test results contained in this report show the antenna performance for gain, G/T, sidelobe
         envelope and cross polarization isolation for the receive and transmit frequency bands. The
         antenna‘s gains were calculated by the 3db/10db beam width and integration methods. G/T values
         were derived from the specified antenna and system noise temperatures and the antennas
         measured gains.      Co—polarization patterns were recorded and plotted under the 29—25*log(8)
         curve. Cross—polarization patterns were recorded and plotted under the corresponding co—
         polarization patterns.

         The gain measurement results for all 6 antennas meet the specifications well within measurement
         error, according to EIA—411—A Standard, Chapter 6. The (6) 9.0m antennas show good sidelobe
         suppression at transmit frequencies and comply with the regulatory requirements described in
         Title 47, Part 25.209C of the FCC.

       Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 9.0—Meter Earth
                           Station System
 This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 9.0—meter earth station system. The
 analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC
 Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997
 in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC
  R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of
  exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the
— status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure
 {(MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1.
 The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
 exposure     period    of   thirty   minutes     or   less. The     MPE   limits   for    persons      in   an
 Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of
 transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the
 analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in
 the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector
 surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to
 compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.      Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equétion:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       R; =0.60 D°/A                       (1)
                                                                = 1000.4 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                 S; =GP/(4 1 R;")                    (2)
                                                                = 8.382 W/im"
                                                                = 0.833 mW/cm*

2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                               Ra = D/ (4 )                        (3)
                                                                = 4186.8 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                               Sa = 16.0 41 P / (xD°)              (4)
                                                               = 19.450 W/im*
                                                               = 1.945 mW/cm*

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                        S = Si Ry/R,                        (5)
                                                               = 1.945 mW/cm*

4.      Region between the Main Reflector and the Subreflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are
reflected back toward the main reflector. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide
flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the subreflector and the reflector surfaces
can be calculated by determining the power density at the subreflector surface. This can be
determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Subreflector                      Ss; = 4000 P / As,       |         (6)
                                                               =174.715 mW/cm*

5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the subreflector. The area is now the area of the main reflector aperture and can be determined
from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Main Reflector Surface      Ssurtace Z4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                               = 29.426 W/im*
                                                               = 2.943 mW/cm*


6.      Region between the Main Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform iflumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground             Sq =P / Asurtace                   (8)
                                                               = 7.356 W/im*
                                                               = 0.736 mW/cm*

It is the applicant‘s responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
exposed to harmful levels of radiation.



8.     Conclusions

Based on the above analysis it is concluded that the FCC MPE guidelines have been exceeded {or
met) in the regions of Table 4 and 5. The applicant proposes to comply with the MPE limits by one
or more of the following methods.

Means of Compliance Uncontrolled Areas

This antenna will be located in a fenced area. The area will be sufficient to prohibit access to the
areas that exceed the MPE limited. The general public will not have access to areas within Va
diameter removed from the edge of the antenna.

Since one diameter removed from the main beam of the antenna or % diameter removed from the
edge of the antenna the RF levels are reduced by a factor of 100 or 20 dB. None of the areas
exceeding the MPE levels will be accessible by the general public.

Radiation hazard signs will be posted while this earth station is in operation.

The applicant will ensure that no buildings or other obstacles will be in the areas that exceed the
MPE levels.



Means of Compliance Gontrolled Areas



The earth stations operational will not have access to the areas that exceed the MPE levels while
the earth station is in operation.

The transmitters will be turned off during antenna maintenance.
