                                               Exhibit A

     Non-Routine Earth Station Antenna, Uplink EIRP Density, and Protection From Interference


In this application, GCI Communication Corp (GCI) proposes to employ the Patriot Antenna Systems
TXINT-380AZ 3.8m C-band earth station antenna which has been recognized as non-compliant with the
antenna performance standards defined in 47 C.F.R. Ch. 1 §25.209. Per the instructions set forth in the
FCC International Bureau Public Notice DA 09-425 (“International Bureau Establishes Website For List Of
Previously Approved Non-Routine Earth Station Antennas”), GCI cites the following non-routine earth
station application to serve as a reference for this GCI application:

       Antenna Manufacturer:                   Patriot Antenna Systems
       Antenna Model Number:                   TXINT-380

       Reference Application File Number:      S-LIC-20061115-02001
       Reference Call Sign:                    E060415
       Reference Licensee Name:                WITF, Inc


As presented in the FCC license associated with Call Sign E060415 (noted above), GCI will operate the
earth station associated with its’ application at a level 6 dB below the maximum power density into the
antenna defined in 47 C.F.R. Ch. 1 §25.212(d)(2). As such, the maximum EIRP density will not exceed
-8.7 dBW/4kHz (calculated as: -2.7 dBW/4kHz – 6.0 dB = -8.7 dBW/4kHz).

Furthermore, GCI understands that it is not protected from interference which may result from the
Patriot Antenna Systems TXINT-380 antennas main lobe and/or side lobe performance characteristics.
As such, GCI will only seek protection to the level associated with an antenna meeting the performance
standards defined in 47 C.F.R. Ch. 1 §25.209.
