Terrace Drive San Dimas, CA 91773 Application Reason/Purpose Prior coordination notification File Number Shall be provided by applicant Applicant Name Addressee Call Sign Various Site Name or Loc Hot Springs, VA 38 01 59.7N, 79 46 46.5W* (Special Conditions) Monterey, VA 38 25 41.1N, 79 35 46.8W System Configuration See attached “Site Specific Data” See attached “Final Engineering” for Hot Springs Previous NRAO Coordination No. NRQZ ID None Listed Current NRAO Coordination No. NRQZ ID 11183_14NOV2017 Dear Applicant: The National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ) has evaluated these facilities to determine the interference impact on our highly sensitive radio astronomy operations. Special Condition: Hot Springs, VA The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Green Bank, WV, objects unless the Applicant's license is restricted to an Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 7532 Watts per 308 kHz unit bandwidth at Azimuth 353.2 degrees True. To meet this Special Condition, the Applicant shall: 1. Use the final engineering submitted by Gary Edwards, Comsearch, indicating that all facilities meet the ERP restriction. 2. Arrange for a site inspection to verify the implementation of this Special Condition. 3. Post a copy of this document and associated attachments at the Transmit facility. Regulatory The NRQZ Office requests that: 1. The FCC places the Special Condition on the Station License. 2. This Letter of Concurrence be attached to the FCC application. 3. The applicant provides the NRQZ Office with notice of its official filing with the FCC per section 47CFR1.924 (a) (2).

December 22, 2017 Page 2 of 2 NRQZ ID: 11183_14NOV2017 Reference Copy / Approved with Special Conditions The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) site located at Green Bank, Pocahontas County, WV, has no objection to this frequency assignment provided the special conditions are met. The Sugar Grove Research Station, the former Naval Radio Research Observatory (NRRO), located at Sugar Grove, Pendleton County, WV has no objections to this frequency assignment. This letter constitutes coordination of assignment in the National Radio Quiet Zone as required by the FCC Rules and Regulations 47CFR1.924. If I may be of assistance, please feel free to contact me.
