Dear Mr. Nalda:

On August 18, 2008, RaySat Antenna Systems (RaySat) filed the above captioned applications to
modify six earth—station licenses by adding emission designators with wider bandwidths and
additional satellite points of communications. For the reasons discussed below, we dismiss the
applications as defective, without prejudice to refiling.

Section 25.112 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112, requires the Commission to
return, as unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not substantially complete,
contains internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission‘s rules.
RaySat‘s applications contain the following deficiencies:

In response to item E47 of Schedule B, Raysat proposes to add a 10M7G7ZW emission designator
with a 41.2 dBW maximum EIRP per carrier {item E48), a 9M47G7W emission designator with a
41.2 dBW maximum EIRP per carrier (item E48), and a 2M07G7W emission designator with a
35.7 dBW maximum EIRP per carrier (item E48). In response to item E40 of Schedule B, Raysat
lists the total EIRP for all carriers as 30.5 dBW. Since the maximum EIRP per carrier for each of
the emissions is greater than the total EIRP for all carriers, we cannot determine the emission
power for the proposed operations.

Additionally, in the radiation hazard analysis in Attachment 1 to the applications, Raysat lists the
maximum transmit power per carrier as 20 Watts. Based on item E48 of Schedule B and the 26.8
dBi antenna transmit gain listed in its license, we calculate that the maximum transmit power per
carrier is 27.54 Watts. Thus, the radiation hazard analysis is inconsistent with the proposed
operations and is therefore defective.


                                      Fegeral Communications Commission                              DA 08—2644



Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commussion‘s rules, 47 C.F.R.
§25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegations of authority, 47
CFR. §0.261, we dismiss RaySat‘s applications without prejudice to refiling.‘


                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                                          ho\

_   If RaySat refiles an application in which the deficiencies identified in this letter have been corrected but
otherwise identical to the one dismissed, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1109(d).
