  • which designates the three requested frequencies under consideration here for specific ship and private coast station uses, (ii) Section 80.105 regarding such stations' general obligations, and (iii) the technical requirements set forth in Part 80, Subpart E. Regarding the technical requirements, we note that Granite has requested a waiver of Sections 80.203 and 80.213 but not Sections 80.205, 80.211, and 80.215. We recognize, however, that Granite generally ``requests waiver of the [Part 80] regulations appropriate to permit private land mobile use of the spectrum consistent with the technical specifications set forth in [its] application.'' As a result, we consider, on our own motion, Granite's request for relief as including Sections 80.205, 80.211, and 80.215. The ``core purpose'' for which maritime frequencies

  • technical requirements of Part 80, Subpart E. Because Silverbow generally ``requests waiver of the [Part 80] regulations appropriate to permit private land mobile use of the spectrum consistent with the technical specifications set forth in [its] application,'' on our own motion, we will also examine whether Silverbow warrants waiver of Sections 80.205 (specifying bandwidth requirements), 80.211 (specifying emission requirements), and 80.215 (specifying transmitter power limitations). The ``core purpose'' of Part 80 rule requirements is to ``serve the communications needs of marine vessels, especially with respect to communications in support of the safety of life and property at sea and on inland waterways.'' The Commission closely scrutinizes requests to use the spectrum outside of the Part 80 framework to ensure that unintended

On February 3, 2003, Isles of Capri Fire/Rescue (Isles of Capri) filed the above-captioned application for a new marine utility station with twenty mobile units and twenty hand-held units. Isles of Capri concurrently requested a waiver of the ten-watt power limit for marine utility stations set forth in Section 80.215(e)(1) of the Commission's Rules. In addition it sought to operate the units with fifty watts maximum power output. For reasons that follow, the waiver request is denied, and the application is dismissed. Background.

  • to minimize the interference potential, employing station antenna shielding and filtering, and using directional antennas. At those sites identified by Avista as requiring filtering to ensure reception of Station KXLY-TV, Avista anticipates use of a single cavity notch (SCN) filter which would provide an additional 17.5 dB of protection. We conclude that this plan to control interference, required by Section 80.215(h)(3)(ii) of the Commission's Rules, is sufficient with respect to the twenty-one proposed sites where no interference to populated areas within Station KXLY-TV's NLSC is predicted. Based on the staff analysis, however, we conclude that the proposed Ritzville Office site poses an unacceptable potential for interference to television reception that would not be adequately addressed by Avista's plan to control interference.
