The maximum EIRP shall not exceed 85 dBW per NTIA manual US 356. 2. During the drift from 76.2° W.L. to the satellite‘s permanent orbital location 58.1° W.L., Intelsat will coordinate with operators of co—frequency satellites in the drift path. 3. All operators of satellites will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs, Currently the 24x7 contact information for the Intelsat 30 mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary); (310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up).
