COMSAT, Inc. respectfully requests that its Santa Paula, CA teleport E890649 license be modified to update the authorization for the Ku-band Hub Antenna currently authorized by license and add authorization to the license for one new Ku-band Hub Antenna. To accomplish the update please delete all current specifications and particulars from license for the currently authorized Hub Antenna (which is listed on the current license as SANTA PAULA 14.2M.TIW - See Exhibit 1 for details and license mark-up showing deletions) and then add back to the license the specifications and particulars as per Schedule B for this antenna (which is being renamed SAPA15Ku). It is requested that the new Ku-band Hub Antenna be added to license as per specifications and particulars set forth for this antenna (which is being named SAPA41Ku) in the Schedule B. Authorizations requested include Extended Ku-band Receive (space to earth). A Coordination Report is attached herewith for the existing antenna (SAPA15Ku) but Protection From Interference is not being requested for the new antenna (SAPA41Ku) so no Coordination Reports are being submitted for the new antenna.
