      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 1.5—Meter Earth
                          Station System
This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 1.5—meter earth station system. The
analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC
Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997
in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC
R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of
exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the
status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1.
The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an
Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of
transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the
analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in
the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector
surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to
compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       R, =0.60 D/A                         (1)
                                                               = 64.1 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                S;, =GP/(41R;")                       (2)
                                                               = 67.069 W/m*
                                                               = 6.707 mW/cm?

2.       Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                              Ry = D* / (4 A)                       (3)
                                                               = 26.7 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                              Sy =16.0 7P / (1 D)                   (4)
                                                               = 156.570 W/m*
                                                               = 15.657 mW/cm*

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S =Si Ri/Rt                           (5)
                                                              = 15.657 mW/cm*


      2oL                                                                     Exhibit
Radiation Hazard Report                                                       Page 3 of 5


4.      Region between the Main Reflector and the Subreflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed     toward the subreflector surface, and are
reflected back toward the main reflector. The most    common feed assemblies are waveguide
flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between   the subreflector and the reflector surfaces
can be calculated by determining the power density    at the subreflector surface. This can be
determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Subreflector                   Ss, = 4000 P / As,                 (6)
                                                             = 17393.361 mW/cm*

5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the subreflector. The area is now the area of the main reflector aperture and can be determined
from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Main Reflector Surface      Semae =4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                             = 242.425 W/m"
                                                             = 24.242 mW/cm*


6.      Region between the Main Reflector and the Ground
                                                                          between the antenna and
Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

                                                          Sq =P / Asurtace                   (8)
     Power Density between Reflector and Ground
                                                             = 60.606 W/m*
                                                             = 6.061 mW/cm*


       2l                                                                   Exhibit

8.      Conclusions

Ba§ed upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those
regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to insure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working, or
otherwise present on the ship, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, occupational exposure will be limited, and the transmitter will be turned off during periods
of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions
in close proximity to the main reflector, and subreflector, which could be occupied by operating
personnel.


The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

       Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
       antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation
       in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
       wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
       compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
       can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing.
       Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
       calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
       (available on—line at www.fee.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
       exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of
       warning and alerting signs and protective equipmentfor worker.

      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 2.4—Meter Earth
                          Station System
This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4—meter earth station system. The
analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC
Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997
in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC
R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of
exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the
status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1.
The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an
Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of
transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the
analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in
the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector
surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to
compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       Ry =0.60 D/A                        (1)
                                                               = 164.2 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                S, =GP/(4 1 Ry")                     (2)
                                                               = 32.233 W/m*
                                                               = 3.223 mW/cm*
2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                              Ry = D* / (4 )                       (3)
                                                              = 68.4 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                              Sm =16.0 1 P / (1 D)                 (4)
                                                              = 75.246 W/m*
                                                              = 7.525 mW/cm"

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S =Sa Ra/R                           (5)
                                                             =7.525 mW/cm"


                                                                                 Exhibit
Radiation Hazard Report                                                          Page 3 of 5


4.      Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                     Sia = 4000 P / Arg                   (6)
                                                              = 104765.963 mW/cm*

5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from
the following equation:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface           Ssurtace =4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                              = 152.966 W/m"
                                                              = 15.297 mW/cm*


6.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground           Sy =P / Asoiace                      (8)
                                                              = 38.241 W/m*
                                                              = 3.824 mW/cm?

It is the applicant‘s responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
exposed to harmful levels of radiation.

8.     Conclusions

Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those
regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to insure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working, or
otherwise present on the ship, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, occupational exposure will be limited, and the transmitter will be turned off during periods
of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions
in close proximity to the main reflector, and subreflector, which could be occupied by operating
personnel.


The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

       Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
       antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation
       in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
       wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
       compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
       can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing.
       Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
       calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
       (available on—line at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
       exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of
       warning and alerting signs and protective equipmentfor worker.

        Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 2.4—Meter Earth
                                             Station System
  This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4—meter earth station system. The
  analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC
  Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997
  in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC
  R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of
  exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the
  status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure
  (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1.
  The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
  exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an
  Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of
  transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the
  analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in
  the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector
  surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to
  compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       R; =0.60 D‘ /¥                      (1)
                                                               = 164.2 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                S, =GP/(41R,")                       (2)
                                                               = 42.963 W/m*
                                                               = 4.296 mW/cm*

2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                              Ry = D* / (4 A)                      (3)
                                                               = 68.4 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                              Sar =16.0 7 P / (x D)                (4)
                                                               = 100.295 W/m*
                                                               = 10.029 mW/cm*

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S = Sn Rr/ Ri                        (5)
                                                               = 10.029 mW/cm*

4.      Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                     Sia = 4000 P / Arg                  (6)
                                                              = 2966.895 mW/cm*

5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from
the following equation:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface           Seunzce > 4 P / Asorece                 (7)
                                                              = 185.946 W/m*
                                                              = 18.595 mW/cm*


6.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground           Sy =P / Asorace                     (8)
                                                             = 46.487 W/m*
                                                              = 4.649 mW/cm*

It is the applicant‘s responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
exposed to harmful levels of radiation.

8.      Conclusions


Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those
regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to insure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working, or
otherwise present on the ship, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, occupational exposure will be limited, and the transmitter will be turned off during periods
of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions
in close proximity to the main reflector, and subreflector, which could be occupied by operating
personnel.


The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

       Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
       antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation
       in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
       wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
       compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
       can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing.
       Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
       calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
       (available on—line at www.fee.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
       exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of
       warning and alerting signs and protective equipmentfor worker.

          Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 2.4—Meter Earth
                                               Station System
    This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4—meter earth station system. The
    analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC
    Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997
    in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC
    R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of
    exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the
    status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure
    (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1.
    The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
    exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an
    Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of
    transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the
    analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in
    the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector
    surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to
    compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       R; =0.60 D/¥                        (1)
                                                               = 164.2 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                S;, =GP/(41R,")                      (2)
                                                               = 33.749 W/m*
                                                               = 3.375 mW/cm*

2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                              Ry = D/ (4 )                         (3)
                                                               = 68.4 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                              Sa =16.0 71 P / (1 D)                (4)
                                                              = 78.786 W/m*
                                                              =7.879 mW/cm*

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S   =SuRa/R                          (5)
                                                               =7.879 mW/cm"


      $   out                                                                   Exhibit
Radiation Hazard Report                                                         Page 3 of 5


4.        Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                     Sia = 4000 P / Ara                  (6)
                                                               = 100042.411 mW/cm*

5.        Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from
the following equation:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface            Scuriace =4 P / Asurtace               (7)
                                                                = 146.069 W/m"
                                                                = 14.607 mW/cm*


6.        Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

It is the applicant‘s responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
exposed to harmful levels of radiation.

8.     Conclusions

Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those
regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to insure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working, or
otherwise present on the ship, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, occupational exposure will be limited, and the transmitter will be turned off during periods
of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions
in close proximity to the main reflector, and subreflector, which could be occupied by operating
personnel.



The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

       Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
       antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation
       in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
       wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
       compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
       can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing.
       Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
       calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
       (available on—line at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
       exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of
       warning and alerting signs and protective equipmentfor worker.

       Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 2.4—Meter Earth
                           Station System
 This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4—meter earth station system. The
 analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC
 Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997
 in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC
 R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of
 exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the
 status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure
 (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1.
 The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
 exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an
 Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of
 transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the
 analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in
 the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector
 surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to
 compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       Ry, =0.60 D/A                       (1)
                                                               =70.8 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                S;, =GP/(4 1 Ry")                    (2)
                                                               = 19.548 W/m*
                                                               = 1.955 mW/cm"

2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                              Ry = D* / (4 )                       (3)
                                                               = 29.5 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                              Sa =16.0 7 P / (1 D°)                (4)
                                                               = 45.633 W/m*
                                                               = 4.563 mW/cm"
3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S =Si Ru/R                           (5)
                                                             = 4.563 mW/cm"


      2l                                                                         Exhibit

4.      Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                      Sia = 4000 P / Ara                  (6)
                                                               = 3203.886 mW/cm*

5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from
the following equation:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface            Smurace =4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                               = 109.021 W/m*
                                                               = 10.902 mW/cm*


6.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground            Sg =P / Asurtace                    (8)
                                                               = 27.255 W/m*
                                                               =2.726 mW/icm*

8.      Conclusions

Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those
regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to insure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.


                                                                                      Exhibit

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working, or
otherwise present on the ship, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, occupational exposure will be limited, and the transmitter will be turned off during periods
of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions
in close proximity to the main reflector, and subreflector, which could be occupied by operating
personnel.


The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

       Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
       antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation
       in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
       wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
       compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
       can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing.
       Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
       calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
       (available on—line at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
       exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of
       warning and alerting signs and protective equipmentfor worker.

      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 1.5—Meter Earth
                                            Station System
This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 1.5—meter earth station system. The
analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC
Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997
in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC
R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of
exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the
status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1.
The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an
Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of
transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the
analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in
the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector
surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to
compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       Ry =0.60 D/A                        (1)
                                                               = 64.1 m
The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                S, =GP/(41R,")                       (2)
                                                              = 65.094 W/m*
                                                               = 6.509 mW/cm*

2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                              Ry = D* / (4 )                       (3)
                                                              = 26.7 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                              Sa =16.0 1P / (1 D)                  (4)
                                                              = 151.959 W/m
                                                               = 15.196 mW/cm*

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S = Si Rar/ Rr                       (5)
                                                               = 15.196 mW/cm*

4.      Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                      Sia = 4000 P / Ara                   (6)
                                                               = 4828.124 mW/cm*

5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from
the following equation:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface            Ssurtace =4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                               = 214.583 W/m
                                                               = 21.458 mW/cm*


6.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground            Sg =P / Asurtace                     (8)
                                                               = 53.646 W/m*
                                                               = 5.365 mW/cm"


       2oL                                                                     Exhibit

8.      Conclusions

Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those
regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to insure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working, or
otherwise present on the ship, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, occupational exposure will be limited, and the transmitter will be turned off during periods
of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions
in close proximity to the main reflector, and subreflector, which could be occupied by operating
personnel.
