Sec. 95.25  Land station description.

    (a) A land station is a unit which transmits only from:
    (1) An exact point as shown on the license; or

[[Page 625]]

    (2) An unspecified point within an operating area (an area within a 
circle centered on a point chosen by the applicant) as shown on the 
license, for a temporary period (one year or less).
    (b) The point from which every land station transmits must be within 
an area where radio services are regulated by the FCC.
    (c) Each land station is classified according to its communications 
points (the other stations or paging receivers to which the station 
operator communicates messages). There are four land station classes:
    (1) Base station (see Sec. 95.55);
    (2) Mobile relay station (see Sec. 95.57);
    (3) Control station (see Sec. 95.59); and
    (4) Fixed station (see Sec. 95.61).
    (d) A small control station is any control station which:
    (1) Has an antenna no more than 6.1 meters (20 feet) above the 
ground or above the building or tree on which it is mounted (see 
Sec. 95.51); and
    (2) Is: (i) South of Line A or west of Line C (see Sec. 95.37); or
    (ii) North of Line A or east of Line C, and the station transmits 
with no more than 5 watts ERP (effective radiated power).
    (e) A small base station is any base station that:
    (1) Has an antenna no more than 6.1 meters (20 feet) above the 
ground or above the building or tree on which it is mounted (see 
Sec. 95.51); and
    (2) Transmits with no more than 5 watts ERP.
    (f) A land station may be licensed to transmit as more than one 
station class. (Example: A land station is licensed as both a base 
station and a control staton. When it is transmitting as a base station 
its communication points are those of a base station (see Sec. 95.55). 
When it is transmitting as a control station its communication points 
are those of a control station (see Sec. 95.59).)
