Transmit—Only Ku—Band DSNG Truck license to provide vital coverage of a special concert scheduled
to benefit the victims of the recent flooding in Louisiana on September 5, 2016. The applicant has

much needed support to the many victims of the extensive flooding that recently occurred in
Louisiana. Grant of the STA in advance of the grant of the permanent license and in advance of the

technical parameters for the proposed Ku—Band transmit equipment.
