1. CONCLUSIONS An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment, based upon the restrictions noted in the Summary of Results (Section 2). . Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 09/12/2011 Page 3 of 12

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in those cases that were reported. Although no companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not meet the objectives on a line-of-sight basis, representatives from the SBE and broadcast community voiced concern over shared operations with their systems. However, at the time of this report, no actual cases had been reported that could be analyzed. The proposed earth station will be limited to a single frequency of 2085.6875 MHz and operate at a low power level. The applicant is open to conducting tests with any shared users that operate receive systems within the contours of this site in order to abate any concerns of interference to their systems. The applicant will also provide access to 24/7 emergency contacts in the event that interference is noted while the earth station is in operation.
