(a) Carriers authorized to construct and operate air-ground
radiotelephone systems on the channels listed in Sec. 22.857 may also
construct and operate low power ground stations designed to provide
service to airborne mobile stations on the ground, provided that no
interference is caused to service provided by ground stations located
in accordance with the geographical channel block layout or with
paragraph (b) of this section. The antenna location of each such low
power ground station may be anywhere that is at least 483 kilometers
(300 miles) from all antenna locations of ground stations using the
same channel block(s) in accordance with the geographical channel
block layout or with paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) Ground station locations may be more than 1.61 kilometers (one
mile) from all of the locations listed in this section, provided that
they are at least 885 kilometers (550 miles) from all antenna
locations of ground stations using the same channel block(s) in
accordance with the geographical channel block layout or with this
paragraph.
