Conclusions
Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may
exist in those regions noted for both the Controlled and Uncontrolled environment.

The earth station will be surrounded by a barrier, which will restrict any public access.
The earth station will be marked with standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as
the area in the vicinity of the earth station to inform those in the general population,
who might be working or otherwise present in or near the direct path of the main
beam.

The applicant will ensure the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one
diameter away from any building, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the
MPE levels. Since one diameter removed from the center of the main beam will lower
levels by at least 20 dB, or by a factor of 100, these potential hazards do not exist for
either the public,or for the earth station personnel.

Finally, the earth station's operating personnel will not have access to areas that
exceed the MPE levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be
turned off during periods of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mW/cm²
will be complied with for those regions in close proximity to the main reflector, which
could be occupied by operating personnel.
