  MTN notes that the attached Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report also includes the
coordination of the 6410.4-6420.5 MHz frequency band. Although these frequencies were coordinated, MTN has
no immediate plans to operate within this band and thus does not include it as part of this Notice.

1. CONCLUSIONS



An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave
facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that
this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment. There
will be spectrum restrictions due to interference considerations.


                                  Skjei Telecom, Inc.
2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS


A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of
the proposed earth station. The Critical Contour Point method of determining worst case
interference from the route and port sites was the interference method used. Each of the
cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and
the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were
found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case.
In those cases were OH losses did not resolve the interference the ESV will mute
transmission within an exclusion zone sufficient in size to preclude interference. Also note,
that there are no unresolved coordination requests which would result in an exceedance of
the maximum 180 megahertz of coordinated spectrum for all ESV operations in the
coordination area in the 5925-6425 MHz band.


The following companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not
meet the objectives on a line-of-sight basis. When over-the-horizon losses are considered
on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful interference from
occurring with the proposed transmit-only earth station. The ESV will employ a GPS
sensitive ability to cease transmission when traveling in certain exclusion zones. The
interference cases and the location of the critical contour point (CCP), around which the
exclusion zones exist are detailed in the tables below.
