Dear Paul,

To clarify an issue on my application for an STA for License E000586. The STA references our
current modification application file SES-AFS-20100916-01166. The modification is requesting
a change in frequency from C-band to Ku-band, and as such the modification lists all of the
satellites to which we now wish to communicate using Ku-band frequencies. The modification
also removes all of the satellites from the existing license to which we will no longer
communicate.

To clarify the reason for the STA. In order to not have the antenna installation crew return at
some later date following the assembly of the antenna in the new location (and therefore incur
additional charges), we wanted to be permitted to at least conduct CW pattern testing of the
antenna prior to the modification grant (which I believe will still be a few months away). The
STA states that the satellite to be used had not yet been determined. We have now narrowed
that down to Intelsat's IS-701 at 180°E.

I hope this clears things up. Please feel free to call if you have any further questions.


Respectfully Yours,
