                                               Exhibit A

     Non‐Routine Earth Station Antenna, Uplink EIRP Density, and Protection From Interference


In this application, GCI Communication Corp (GCI) proposes to employ the Patriot Antenna Systems
TXINT‐380AZ 3.8m C‐band earth station antenna which has been recognized as non‐compliant with the
antenna performance standards defined in 47 C.F.R. Ch. 1 §25.209. Per the instructions set forth in the
FCC International Bureau Public Notice DA 09‐425 (“International Bureau Establishes Website For List Of
Previously Approved Non‐Routine Earth Station Antennas”), GCI cites the following non‐routine earth
station application to serve as a reference for this GCI application:

       Antenna Manufacturer:                   Patriot Antenna Systems
       Antenna Model Number:                   TXINT‐380

       Reference Application File Number:      S‐LIC‐20061115‐02001
       Reference Call Sign:                    E060415
       Reference Licensee Name:                WITF, Inc


As presented in the FCC license associated with Call Sign E060415 (noted above), GCI will operate the
earth station associated with its’ application at a level 6dB below the maximum power density into the
antenna defined in 47 C.F.R. Ch. 1 §25.212(d)(2). As such, the maximum EIRP density will not exceed
‐8.7 dBW/4kHz (calculated as: ‐2.7 dBW/4kHz – 6.0 dB = ‐8.7 dBW/4kHz).

Furthermore, GCI understands that it is not protected from interference which may result from the
Patriot Antenna Systems TXINT‐380 antennas main lobe and/or side lobe performance characteristics.
As such, GCI will only seek protection to the level associated with an antenna meeting the performance
standards defined in 47 C.F.R. Ch. 1 §25.209.
