Sec. 22.709 Rural radiotelephone service application requirements.
In addition to information required by Subparts B and D of this part, FCC
Form 601 applications for authorization to operate a station in the Rural
Radiotelephone Service must contain the applicable supplementary information
described in this section.
(a) Interoffice stations. Applications for authority to operate a new
interoffice station or to add transmitters or points of communications to an
existing interoffice station must contain an exhibit demonstrating that the
requested facilities would be used only for interconnecting central office
stations and explaining why the use of alternative existing radio or wire
facilities is not feasible.
(b) Technical information required . For each transmitter in the Rural
Radiotelephone Service, the following information is required by FCC Form
601:
(1) Location description: city; county; state; geographic coordinates
correct to ±1 second, the datum used (NAD83), site elevation above mean sea
level, proximity to adjacent market boundaries and international borders;
(2) Antenna height to tip above ground level, the height of the center of
radiation of the antenna above the average terrain, the height of the
antenna center of radiation above the average elevation of the terrain along
each of the 8 cardinal radials, antenna gain in the maximum lobe, the
beamwidth of the maximum lobe of the antenna, a polar plot of the horizontal
gain pattern of the antenna, the electric field polarization of the wave
emitted by the antenna when installed as proposed;
(3) The center frequency of each channel requested, the maximum effective
radiated power, the effective radiated power in each of the cardinal radial
directions, any non-standard emission types to be used, including bandwidth
and modulation type, the transmitter classification (e.g. central office),
and the locations and call signs, if any, of any fixed points of
communication.
(c) No landline facilities. Each application for a central office station
must contain an exhibit showing that it is impracticable to provide the
required communication service by means of landline facilities.
(d) Interference exhibit. Applications for central office, interoffice and
relay stations must include an exhibit identifying co-channel facilities and
demonstrating, in accordance with Sec. 22.715 that the proposed station, if
authorized, would not cause interference to the service of those co-channel
facilities. This exhibit must:
(1) For UHF channels, identify each protected transmitter located within 108
kilometers (67 miles) of the proposed transmitter in directions in which the
distance to the interfering contour is 76.4 kilometers (47.5 miles) or less,
and within 178 kilometers (111 miles) of the proposed transmitter in
directions in which the distance to the interfering contour exceeds 76.4
kilometers (47.5 miles); and identify each protected Basic Exchange
Telephone Radio System central office transmitter in the rural
Radiotelephone Service within 231 kilometers (144 miles).
(2) For VHF channels, identify each protected transmitter located within 135
kilometers (84 miles) of the proposed transmitter in directions in which the
distance to the interfering contour is 93.3 kilometers (58 miles) or less,
and within 178 kilometers (111 miles) of the proposed transmitter in
directions in which the distance to the interfering contour exceeds 93.3
kilometers (58 miles).
(3) For each protected transmitter identified, show the results of distance
calculations indicating that there would be no overlap of service and
interfering contours, or alternatively, indicate that the licensee of or
applicant for the protected transmitter and/or the applicant, as required,
have agreed in writing to accept any interference resulting from operation
of the proposed transmitter.
(e) Blocking probability. Applications for authority to operate basic
exchange telephone radio systems (BETRS) that request more than two channel
pairs must include an exhibit containing calculations showing that the
number of channels requested is the minimum necessary to achieve the
required grade of service (in terms of blocking probability), and that there
will be adequate spectrum available in the area to meet realistic estimates
of current and future demand for paging, two-way mobile and rural
radiotelephone services (see Sec. 22.719(c)). Applications for authority to
operate new conventional rural radiotelephone systems that request more than
two channel pairs must include a statement explaining why BETRS technology
is not being proposed.
(f) Antenna Information. Upon request by an applicant, licensee, or the
Commission, a part 22 applicant or licensee of whom the request is made
shall furnish the antenna type, model, and the name of the antenna
manufacturer to the requesting party within ten (10) days of receiving
written notification.
