60 days, commencing October 1, 2019, to operate 200 of each of the follow antennas: 1.2 m Skyware
Global antenna; 1.2 m GD Satcom antenna; 1.8 m Global Skyware antenna; and 1.8 m GD Satcom
antenna. Subject to Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) authority, the blanket
authorized antennas will communicate with Galaxy 18 (Call Sign S2733).2

The proposed operations will be conducted in the following frequency bands: 11700-12200 MHz and

to eliminate the interference.
