                     Explanatory Information Regarding §25.204

This earth station application includes the extended Ku-band (13.75-14.00 GHz Earth-to-
space)). Section 25.204(f) specifies several conditions on earth stations transmitting in
the 13.75-14.00 GHz band. Namely, for earth stations communicating with geostationary
satellites that:
    - The earth station shall have a minimum antenna size of 4.5 meters
    - The eirp of any emission should be at least 68 dBW and shall not exceed 85 dBW
    - The eirp density shall not exceed 71 dBW in any 6 MHz band in the band 13.77-
         13.78 GHz
    - Automatic power control may be used to increase the eirp density in a 6 MHz
         band in the 13.77-13.78 GHz band beyond the 71 dBW value, provided that the
         power flux density at the satellite in that 6 MHz band does not exceed the value
         that would be obtained from an emission at 71 dBW under clear sky conditions.

DIRECTV confirms that the eirp density of any emission from this 9.2 meter earth station
in the band 13.75-14.00 GHz will be greater than 68 dBW and will not exceed 85 dBW
under all conditions. DIRECTV further confirms that automatic power control will be
used on the transmissions in this band and that the power control will be operated such
that the clear sky eirp density of any emission in any 6 MHz band in the 13.77-13.78
GHz band will not exceed 71 dBW. Finally, DIRECTV confirms that the accuracy of the
power control is such that, under faded conditions, the power flux density at the satellite
in any 6 MHz band in the 13.77-13.78 GHz band will not exceed the value that would be
obtained from an emission at 71 dBW in that 6 MHz band under clear sky conditions.
