                                              Exhibit A

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

In this Application, GCI Communication Corp (GCI) proposes to employ the Prodelin
Corporation model 1251 2.4METER 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:                       Prodelin Corporation

       Antenna Model Number:                       2.4 METER 1251

       Reference Application File Number:          SES‐LIC‐20080717‐00949

       Reference Call Sign                         E080170

       Reference License Name                      Intelsat LLC

As presented in FCC license associated with Call Sign E080170 (noted above) GCI will operate
the earth station associated with its’ application at a level 7.3dB 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       ‐10.0 dBW/4KHz (calculated as: ‐2.7 dBW/4KHz ‐ 7.3 dB= ‐10.0
dBW/4KHz).

Furthermore, GCI understands that it is not protected from interference which may result from
the Prodelin corporation antenna 1251 2.4METER 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
