Cohen, Dippell and Everist, P.C. NEW SATELLITE UPLINK TRUCK PAGE 4 d) Maximum EIRP for each RF carrier in the main-beam: 65.6 dBw e) Maximum EIRP density for each carrier in main-beam: 26.06 dBw/4 kHz f) Description of each RF carrier: MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Environmental Assessment Based on the off-axis radiation characteristics of the 1.6 meter truck-mounted AVL Technologies parabolic uplink antenna from the antenna manufacturer, the proposed operation complies with Section 1.1307 of the FCC Rules as it meets the provisions of the limits adopted by the Commission for Maximum Permissible Exposure (“MPE”)1 at all locations surrounding the truck at two meters above ground level. For an antenna input power of 97.7 Watts, the radio frequency power density outside of the 1.6 meter diameter project cylinder in front of the antenna will be less than 5 µW/cm². The antenna is attached atop a van as shown in Exhibit E-1 of this engineering statement. As such, the center of radiation for the antenna is located 3.65 meters (12 feet) above ground level. The radio frequency power density levels behind the antenna system, and at 2 meters above ground level around the van, will be less than 5 µW/cm². The transmitting system will be placed in the non-operative mode when authorized personnel are working on the top of the van. WBBH-TV will ensure that its portable uplink system will be operated in such a way as to contribute less than 1% of the allowable MPE limit to site areas containing non-categorically excluded stations. In order to obtain proper illumination of the satellite, the proposed uplink will be operated such that the major on-axis 1.6 meter cylinder, plus its accompanying 5E cone, will 1 See Appendix A of OET Bulletin No. 65, Edition 97-01, August 1997.

Cohen, Dippell and Everist, P.C. NEW SATELLITE UPLINK TRUCK PAGE 5 be located well away from buildings or towers. The minimum vertical operating angle to any domestic satellite will be at least 11E above the horizon. For a 1.6 meter diameter parabolic antenna at 14.25 GHz, an antenna input power of 97.7 watts (49.9 dBm) and antenna gain of 45.7 dBi, the results of the five equations follows: 1. Extent of Near Field (Equation) Page R(nf) = D² / 4 Lambda (12) 27 = 30.4 m (99.7 feet) 2. Maximum Near Field On-Axis Power Density S(nf) = 16ηP / Pi D² (13) 28 = 12.64 mW/cm², for η = 0.65 3. Distance to Beginning of Far Field Region R(ff) = 0.6 D² / Lambda (16) 29 = 73 m (239.5 feet) 4. Transition Region S=[S(nf) R (nf)] / R (17) 29 = 12.64 mW/cm² @ 30.4 m to 5.41 mW/cm² at 73.0 m 5. Far Field S = PG / 4 Pi R² = 5.41 mW/cm² at 73.1 m The following table describes computed on-axis and off-axis radiofrequency radiation levels for the near field, far field, and transition zones based on the formula contained in FCC OET Bulletin No. 65 (Edition 97.01).

(b) Workers and the general public will not be subjected to RF radiation levels in excess of the FCC adopted limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) as set forth in Table 1, Limits for MPE of Appendix A of OET Bulletin No. 65, Edition 97-01, August 1997. Authorized personnel will be alerted to areas of the truck where potential radiation levels are in excess of the MPE standard. The transmitting equipment will be placed in the non-operative mode when authorized personnel are on the truck bed. Workers will ensure that uplink operations will contribute less than 1% of the applicable RF exposure limit to the site areas of any non-categorically excluded facilities including AM and FM radio stations, TV stations, LPTV and TV translator stations, FM booster stations with ERP > 100 watts, ITFS, MDS, and MMDS stations with ERP > 200 watts, experimental stations, and other satellite earth stations. The operation will be in full accordance with FCC Public Notice, Report No. DS-1202 entitled, Guidelines for Filing Domestic Satellite Earth Station Applications, Released June 10, 1992.

Cohen, Dippell and Everist, P.C. NEW SATELLITE UPLINK TRUCK PAGE 7 Environmental Considerations The facility will not be located in any officially designated wilderness area or wildlife preserve. The facility does not protect, shelter, or affect any threatened or endangered species nor will it result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed or existing critical habitats. The facility will not affect districts, sites, buildings, structures or objects significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or culture. The facility will not affect Indian religious sites and is not located in a flood plain. Construction of the facility will not involve significant change in surface features, nor be equipped with high intensity white lights or located in a residential neighborhood. The station will not cause exposure to workers or the general public to levels of radio frequency radiation in excess of Maximum Permissible Exposure limits. The applicant anticipates that the facility will meet or exceed MPE objectives of the OET Bulletin No. 65, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, Edition 97-01, August 1997. Even so, during operation, all personnel will be restricted from areas where hazardous radiation will be encountered. Equipment shielding and warning signs will be employed as needed.
