§ 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 § 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
§ 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.
