FCC 25.205 Revised as of October 1, 2007

Sec. 25.205 Minimum angle of antenna elevation.
(a) Earth station antennas shall not normally be authorized for transmission
at angles less than 5 ° measured from the horizontal plane to the direction
of maximum radiation. However, upon a showing that the transmission path
will be seaward and away from land masses or upon special showing of need
for lower angles by the applicant, the Commission will consider authorizing
transmissions at angles between 3 ° and 5 ° in the pertinent directions. In
certain instances, it may be necessary to specify minimum angles greater
than 5 ° because of interference considerations.
(b) ESVs making a special showing requesting angles of elevation less than
5 ° measured from the horizontal plane to the direction of maximum radiation
pursuant to (a) of this Section must still meet the effective isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) and e.i.r.p. density towards the horizon limits
contained in Sec. 25.204(h) and (i).
