Near Field Off Axis (WN)                              0.19 mW/cm sq            Meets ANSI Requirements


Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, harmful areas of Radiation do exist in areas around the antenna
and in the path of the antenna toward the satellite that it is pointed at. The Area occupied by the general
public will not exceed the ANSI limit of 1 mW cm sq. because the antenna is mounted on top of the truck,
which is at least 8 feet above the ground, and safety increases with look angles used by the Satellites in the
United States on Dom. Sat. arch. The areas on the ground and behind the antenna are 100 times less power
(20dB) when at a min
                   min. of the dia
                               dia. of the reflector
                                           reflector. This is reflected in the Off Axis figures as seen above
(WF) & (WN). The SNG will be marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, and on the antenna
itself. The warning signs will warn personnel to avoid the area around and in front of the reflector when the
transmitter is operating. To ensure compliance with safety limits, the earth station transmitter will be
turned off and marked to remain off whenever maintenance and repair personnel are required to work in the
areas of potential hazard as defined in the above study. Additionally the earth station personnel will be
trained to insure that the antenna path is clear at all times while the transmitter is in operation. The only
access to the roof of the truck is a stored ladder which will only be used when the transmitter is off and not
accessible by the general public.


Note: See Exhibit #Ba for how the above calculations were made.
