The proposed operations will be performed using the following frequencies: 6173.7 MHz and 6176.3
MHz in the uplink (LHCP), and 3949.0 MHz, 3949.5 MHz, 3950.5 MHz, and 3951 MHz in the
downlink (RHCP). The proposed operatlons will becoordmated with all operators of satellites that use
the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path." All operators of potentially affected satellites will
be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that
harmful interference occurs.
