Information and Instructions
Notification of Commencement of Service or of Additional or Modified
Facilities
Introduction
FCC 489 is a general purpose notification form for use in the
Public Mobile Service and the Personal Communications Service. Each
notification must contain one and only one form FCC 489, but may also
use one or more of the schedules from form FCC 600 as attachments.
Applicable Rules and Regulations
Before the notification is prepared, the notifier should review the
relevant part(s) of the FCC rules in Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. Copies of Title 47 may be purchased from the
Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC
20402. FCC rules often require various exhibits to be filed with a
notification in addition to the information requested in the
notification form. Notifiers should make every effort to file complete
notifications. Failure to do so can result in the return of the
notification as unacceptable.
Microfiche
Notifications on FCC 489 must be filed in microfiche form.
Generally, three microfiche (one original and two copies) are required.
Each microfiche must be a copy of the signed paper original. Each
microfiche copy must be a 148mm x 105mm negative (clear transparent
characters appearing on an background providing sufficient contrast to
make legible copies) at 24 x or 27 x reduction. At least one of the
microfiche sets must be a silver halide camera master of a copy made on
silver halide film such as Kodak Direct Duplicating Film. The
microfiche must be placed in paper mircofiche envelopes and submitted
in a 5'' x 7\1/2\'' envelope. Row ``A'' (the first row for page images)
of the first microfiche must be left blank.
Paper Original
Generally, the paper original must be submitted at the same time as
the microfiche. Refer to the pertinent part of the FCC rules for
specific instructions.
Magnetic Disks, Electronic Filing
Notifications on FCC 489 may be filed in magnetic disk form or
through electronic data transmission. Each notification must be in a
separate ASCII computer file, even if on the same disk. Each item must
consist of the item number followed by >>> followed by the data,
followed by the character sequence >>DC>>A>>A>>152.24>> [text of the exhibit]dBd), using item number B25A.
Items B26 & B28 These items report the actual and effective height
at which the antenna is mounted. These items must be completed for all
notifications where a Schedule B is attached, except for those in the
Air-ground Radiotelephone Service.
Item B27 This item is not used with notifications and should be
left blank or omitted.
Transmitters for Antenna
Item B29 This item is the FCC transmitter number for the
transmitter.
Item B30 This item indicates what action the notifier wants the
FCC to take in the database with regard to as many as four transmitters
(or channels) associated with the (same) antenna. If the notification
is for a new transmitter or channel (i.e. a transmitter or channel that
does not already exist for this antenna at this location in the system
or station), the answer to this item is ``A''. If the transmitter or
channel already exists for this antenna at this location in the
authorized system or station and the licensee has abandoned or intends
to abandon the transmitter or channel completely, the answer to this
item is ``D''. In all other cases, the answer to this item is ``M''. If
the notifier answers this item ``A'' and the FCC computer finds an
exact match for the transmitter or channel for this antenna at this
location within the system or station, this portion of the Schedule B
will be processed as if this item had been answered ``M''. If the
notifier answers this item ``M'' and the FCC computer cannot find an
exact match for the specified transmitter or channel for this antenna
at this location within the system or station, this portion of the
Schedule B will be processed as if this item had been answered ``A''.
If the notifier answers this item ``D'' and the FCC computer cannot
find an exact match for the specified transmitter or channel for this
antenna at this location within the system or station this portion of
the Schedule B will not be processed.
Item B31 This item specifies the center frequencies of the
channels on which the transmitters operate. The pertinent channel(s)
must be specified for each transmitter.
Item B32 This item requests a four letter code that identifies the
transmitter class. The four letter code consists of two letters that
conform to the international station classification nomenclature used
by the International Frequency Registration Board, followed by two
letters that further classify the transmitter by usage. The codes are
as follows:
Base.......................................................... FBBS
Standby....................................................... FBST
Mobile subscriber............................................. MLSB
Dispatch...................................................... FXDI
Auxiliary test................................................ FXTS
Control....................................................... FXCT
Repeater...................................................... FXRP
Fixed relay................................................... FXRX
Ground........................................................ FBGS
Air-ground signaling.......................................... FBSI
Inter-office.................................................. FXIO
Fixed subscriber.............................................. FXSB
Central office................................................ FXCO
Item B33 This item should be completed only if the notification
reports the use of an emission type that is not authorized in the FCC
rules for use by all stations in the pertinent radio service, but has
already been authorized for use by the station or system to which the
notification pertains.
Item B34 This item reports the maximum effective radiated power
(ERP) in any direction on the specified channel. This item must be
completed for all transmitter notifications. The answer must be stated
in Watts.
Radial Data for Antenna
Item B35 This item reports the height of the antenna center of
radiation above the average terrain elevation (AAT) along each of the
eight cardinal radials. This item must be completed for all antenna
notifications, except for those in the Air-ground Radiotelephone
Service.
Items B36-B39 These items report the effective radiated power
(ERP) for each transmitter or channel in each of the eight cardinal
radial directions. These items must be completed for all transmitter
notifications, except for those in the Air-ground Radiotelephone
Service.
Points of Communication for Antenna
Item B40-B45 These items describe fixed points of communication
for (1) stations in the Rural Radiotelephone Service serving
individually licensed subscribers, and (2) point-to-multipoint
transmitters operating on channels that are assigned only to stations
that communicate with four or more points. These items should be
completed only by notifiers reporting a relocation of these points of
communications and not for any other purpose.
Specific Instructions for FCC 600 Schedule C Technical Data--Block
Channel Assignment
Location
Item C1 This item indicates what action the notifier wants the FCC
to take in the database with regard to the location specified in items
C3-10. If the notification is for a new location in an existing system
or station (i.e. the location does not already exist in the authorized
system or station), the answer to this item is ``A''. If the location
is an existing location in the authorized system or station and the
licensee has abandoned or intends to abandon the location completely,
the answer to this item is ``D''. (Also see the instruction for items
C11-C14 below.) In all other cases, the answer to this item is ``M''.
If the notifier answers this item ``A'' and the FCC computer finds an
exact match for the location within the system or station, the Schedule
C will be processed as if this item had been answered ``M''. If the
notifier answers this item ``M'' and the FCC computer cannot find an
exact match for the specified location within the system or station,
the Schedule C will be processed as if this item had been answered
``A''. If the notifier answers this item ``D'' and the FCC computer
cannot find an exact match for the specified location within the system
or station, the Schedule C will not be processed.
Item C2 This item is the FCC assigned location number for an
existing location, or for a new location, a letter (e.g. A, B, C etc).

if there is no address, by a brief description of the location such as
a distance and direction from known landmarks (e.g. ``5 km south of
Anytown, US'').
Items C7, C8, C9 and C10 These items are the geographic
coordinates of the location. Items C7 and C8 are the North latitude and
West longitude, respectively, with reference to the North American
Datum of 1927. Items C7 and C8 are required. Items C9 and C10 are the
North latitude and West longitude, respectively, with reference to the
North American Datum of 1983. Items C9 and C10 are optional, but may
assist processing of the Schedule C.
Items C11-C14 These items key to location data that is to be
replaced by the data in items C3-C10 in the data base. The notifier
should complete these items only if (1) correcting geographical
coordinates or (2) relocating all facilities at the location indicated
by these items to the location specified in items C3-C10. The notifier
must not complete these items if the intent is to relocate some, but
not all, of the facilities at a particular location. (In such a case,
the notifier must submit two Schedule Cs with the filing--one to delete
the facilities at the previous location and another to add those
facilities at the new location.)

the application. Paper originals of applications must bear an original
signature. Neither rubber-stamped nor photocopied signatures are
acceptable.
The Schedules
The purposes of the schedules are as follows:
Schedule A
One Schedule A is required for each application or amendment in the
radio services governed by Part 22 or Part 24 of FCC rules. These
services are the Personal Communications Service, the Cellular
Radiotelephone Service, the Paging and Radiotelephone Service, the
Rural Radiotelephone Service, the Offshore Radiotelephone Service and
the Air-ground Radiotelephone Service. Schedule A indicates the purpose
of the filing. It is the only schedule needed for initial systems where
no site specific data is being submitted, and for requests for
extension of time to construct facilities. Schedule A must not be filed
with Schedules D or E.
Schedule B
Schedule B is used when site-specific data is required for
applications, amendments or notifications involving individual channel
assignments, in the radio services for which Schedule A is required. At
least one Schedule B must be filed for each location for which data is
required. Schedule B provides location data, information concerning
proximity to market boundaries, technical information concerning the
antennas and transmitters at the particular location, radial power and
antenna height data, and information about points of communication for
transmitters at the particular location. Each Schedule B can hold data
for multiple antennas at one location by using additional copies of
page 2. For each antenna, Schedule B can hold data for up to four
transmitters and/or channels. Additional Schedule Bs may be filed for
the same location or antenna if necessary.
Schedule C
Schedule C is used when site-specific data is required for
applications, amendments or notifications in the radio services for
which Schedule A is required and for which spectrum is assigned in
channel blocks. One Schedule C must be filed for each location for
which data is required. Schedule C provides location data, technical
parameters of the facility at the particular location, radial power and
antenna height data.
Schedule D
Schedule D is required for applications and amendments in all radio
services for which Form FCC 600 may be used, except those for which
Schedule A is required. It provides additional administrative data for
stations in these services.
Schedule E
Schedule E is required for applications and amendments in all radio
services for which Form FCC 600 may be used, except those for which
Schedule A is required. It provides station location data for stations
in these services.
Schedule F
Schedule F is required when permanent location data is submitted on
Schedule B, C or E. However, in some services (e.g. PCS), applicants
may need to obtain antenna clearance independent of the system
authorization by filing Form FCC 854. See the pertinent part(s) of the
FCC rules.
Schedule G
Schedule G is required for applications and amendments in all radio
services for which Form FCC 600 may be used, except those for which
Schedule A is required. It provides technical data for stations in
these services. The reverse side of Schedule G provides for additional
frequencies. Additional Schedule Gs may be filed if necessary.
Schedule H
Schedule H is required for applications and amendments in the
Remote Pickup Broadcast Auxiliary Radio Service for permanent location
stations and for land mobile stations operating on frequencies lower
than 27.5 MHz. Failure to include this schedule when required will
result in the return of the application without further action. Land
mobile stations located near international borders that seek protection
from interference should complete Schedule H.
Schedules Required (Other Than Part 22 and Part 24)
If the application to be submitted includes fixed or permanent
location stations (A-F), complete the Main Form, Schedule D, Schedule
E, Schedule F and Schedule G. Schedule H must also be completed for
fixed location stations proposed in the Remote Pickup Broadcast
Auxiliary Radio Service.
If the application to be submitted includes only control stations
meeting the 20 foot criteria, mobile, temporary or itinerant locations
(G-Z), complete Form 600 Main Form, Schedule D, Schedule E and Schedule
G.
Schedule H must also be completed for all stations proposing to
operate on frequencies below 27.5 MHz.
Note: The Main Form and applicable schedules should be submitted
as one package, stapled in the upper left corner. The Main Form
should be first with the following schedules in alphabetical order.
Specific Instructions for Schedule A Administrative Information
Purpose of Filing
Item A1 This item states the purpose(s) for the filing. Enter one
or more letters corresponding to the listed purposes. If none of the
listed purposes correctly describe the reason for the filing, or if the
filing requests a waiver of one or more FCC rules or an extension of
time to construct facilities, attach as an exhibit a narrative
description of the purpose, circumstances and/or waiver request
including required justification. Use A1A as the item number for this
exhibit.
Market/Channel Block
Item A2 This item must be answered only if the filing is for an
authorization in one of the radio services that is licensed on a
geographic licensing area or ``market'' basis (e.g. Cellular Radio
Service). It identifies the market to which the filing pertains. The
market designators are listed in FCC Public Notices or in the FCC
Record. This item should not be answered for filings in radio services
licensed on a station-by-station basis.
Item A3 This item must be answered only if the filing is for an
authorization in one of the radio services for which spectrum is
assigned in channel blocks. For filings in the Cellular Radio Service,
the answer to this item is either ``A'' or ``B''. For filings in the
Air-ground Radiotelephone Service (commercial aviation), the answer to
this item is ``C-'' followed by a number between 1 and 29 (e.g. C-17).
This item should not be answered for filings in radio services in which
channels are individually assigned.
Item A4 This item must be answered only if the filing is for an
authorization in one of the radio services that is licensed on a
geographic licensing area or ``market'' basis and the market has been
subdivided.
Item A5 This item must be answered only if the filing is for an
authorization in one of the radio services that is licensed on a
geographic licensing area or ``market'' basis (e.g. Cellular Radio
Service). In addition to item A2, it identifies the market to which the
filing pertains. The market names are listed in FCC Public Notices or
in the FCC Record. This item should not be answered for filings in
radio services licensed on a station by station basis.
Control Points
Items A6-A9 These items provide the location(s) of the station or
system control points, and the telephone number(s) where a person
responsible for operation of the station or system could be reached, if
necessary. These items must be answered only for new systems or
stations and when a control point is to be added, deleted or modified.
These items do not have to be answered for broadcast subcarrier paging
(i.e. if the answer to item A1 is ``O''). If a control point
modification is the only purpose of the filing, answer item A1 ``S''
and file Schedule A as an attachment to Form FCC 489, rather than Form
FCC 600. To move an existing control point or change a telephone
number, delete the old information and add the new.
Facilities not Constructed
Items A10-A12 These items must be completed only in connection
with (1) filings that request an extension of time to construct
specific facilities in services where locations are individually
subject to a construction period requirement, and the rest of the
station or system has been completed; (2) notifications, using Schedule
A as an attachment, reporting that a system has been partially
constructed. In some cases where more than one antenna or transmitter
is authorized at a location, and some but not all of the facilities
have been constructed, it may be necessary to further distinguish the
unconstructed facilities by channel. If so, indicate the affected
channels in an exhibit, using item number A10A.
Specific Instructions for Schedule B Technical Data--Individual Channel
Assignment
Location
Item B1 This item indicates what action the filer wants the FCC to
take in the database with regard to the location specified in items B2-
B10. If the filing is for a new station or system or for a new location
in an existing system or station (i.e. the location does not already
exist on any channel in the authorized system or station or in a
pending application for the same system or station), the answer is this
item is ``A''. If the location is an existing location in the
authorized system or station or a location proposed in a pending
application for the same system or station, and the licensee has
abandoned or intends to abandon the location completely, the answer to
this item is ``D''. (Also see the instruction for items B11-B14 below.)
In all other cases, the answer to this item is ``M''. If the filer
answers this item ``A'' and the FCC computer finds an exact match for
the location within the system or station, the Schedule B will be
processed as if this item had been answered ``M''. If the filer answers
this item ``M'' and the FCC computer cannot find an exact match for the
specified location within the system or station, the Schedule B will be
processed as if this item had been answered ``A''. If the filer answers
this item ``D'' and the FCC computer cannot find an exact match for the
specified location within the system or station, the Schedule B will
not be processed.
Item B2 This item is the FCC assigned location number for an
existing location, or for a new location, a letter (e.g. A, B, C etc).
In either case, this item is used as the key to identify the location
on Schedule F (if Schedule F is filed).
Items B3-B6 These items identify the location by its address or,
if there is no address, by a brief description of the location such as
a distance and direction from known landmarks (e.g. ``5 km south of
Anytown, US'').
Items B7, B8, B9 and B10 These items are the geographic
coordinates of the location. Items B7 and B8 are the North latitude and
West longitude, respectively, with reference to the North American
Datum of 1927. Items B7 and B8 are required. Items B9 and B10 are the
North latitude and West longitude, respectively, with reference to the
North American Datum of 1983. Items B9 and B10 are optional, but may
assist processing of the Schedule B.
Items B11-B14 These items key to location data in the database
that is to be replaced by the data in items B3-B10. The filer should
complete these items only if (1) correcting geographical coordinates or
(2) relocating all facilities at the location indicated by these items
to the location specified in items B3-B10. The filer must not complete
these items if the intent is to relocate some, but not all, of the
facilities at a particular location. (In such a case, the filer must
submit two Schedule Bs with the filing--one to delete the facilities at
the previous location and another to add those facilities at the new
location.)
Supplementary Location Information
Item B15 This item is optional and concerns proximity of the
location to Canada. If the filer does not know whether the location is
North of Line A or East of Line C, this item should be left blank. If
the filer answers ``A'' or ``C'' (and this appears to be plausibly
correct), the FCC will initiate applicable coordination procedures with
the Government of Canada. In the event the filer needs to submit
additional information regarding coordination of a channel assignment
with the Government of Canada, this should be attached as an exhibit,
using item number B15A.
Item B16 This item is optional and concerns proximity of the
location to Mexico. If the filer does not know whether the location
within 200 kilometers (124 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, this item
should be left blank. If the filer answers ``Y'' (and this appears to
be plausibly correct), the FCC will initiate applicable coordination
procedures with the Government of Mexico. In the event the filer needs
to submit additional information regarding coordination of a channel
assignment with the Government of Mexico, this should be attached as an
exhibit, using item number B16A.
Items B17-B19 These items must be completed only for filings in
the narrowband Personal Communications Service (other than nationwide
and response channel related filings).
Antenna
Item B20 This item indicates what action the filer wants the FCC
to take in the database with regard to the antenna specified in items
B22-B28. If the filing is for a new antenna (i.e. the antenna does not
already exist at this location for any channel in the authorized system
or station or in a pending application for the same system or station),
the answer to this item is ``A''. If the antenna is an existing antenna
in the authorized system or station or an antenna proposed in a pending
application for the same system or station, and the licensee has
abandoned or intends to abandon the antenna completely, the answer to
this item is ``D''. In all other cases, the answer to this item is
``M''. If the filer answers this item ``A'' and the FCC computer finds
an exact match for the antenna within the system or station, this, this
portion of the Scheduled B will be processed as if this item had been
answered ``M''. If the filer answers this item ``M'' and the FCC
computer cannot find an exact match for the specified antenna within
the system or station, this portion of the Schedule B will be processed
as if this item had been answered ``A''. If the filer answers this item
``D'' and the FCC computer cannot find an exact match for the specified
antenna within the system or station, this portion of the Schedule B
will not be processed.
Item B21 This item indicates whether the antenna in question is
already authorized or whether it is only proposed in a pending
application. The filer must answer this item.
Item B22 This item indicates the FCC antenna number of the
antenna. If a number has been printed on an authorization the applicant
knows it, he or she should complete this item.
Items B23-28 This item describes the antenna by its type,
manufacturer and model number, and must be completed for all filings
except for those in the Air-ground Radiotelephone Service. Type means a
generic description (e.g. collinear vertical, Yagi, panel array).
Manufacturer is the name of the company that made the antenna, and
model number is the designation that the manufacturer assigns to the
antenna. If a polar plot of the antenna horizontal or vertical
radiation pattern is required by the pertinent FCC rules, attach as an
exhibit such plot (or in the case of electronic or magnetic filing,
substitute a table of the polar data for 360 deg. in 5 deg. increments
in the format: bearing, gain dBd), using item number B25A.
Items B26 & B28 These items report the actual and effective height
at which the antenna is mounted. These items must be completed for all
filings except for those in the Air-ground Radiotelephone Service.

channels) associated with the (same) antenna. If the filing is for a
new transmitter or channel (i.e., a transmitter or channel that does
not already exist for this antenna at this location in the system or
station or in a pending application for the same system or station),
the answer to this item is ``A''. If the transmitter or channel already
exists for this antenna at this location in the authorized system or
station or for an antenna at this location proposed in a pending
application for the same system or station, and the licensee has
abandoned or intends to abandon the transmitter or channel completely,
the answer to this item is ``D''. In all other cases, the answer to
this item is ``M''. If the filer answers this item ``A'' and the FCC
computer finds an exact match for the transmitter or channel for this
antenna at this location within the system or station, this portion of
the Schedule B will be processed as if this item had been answered
``M''. If the filer answers this item ``M'' and the FCC computer cannot
find an exact match for the specified transmitter or channel for this
antenna at this location within the system or station, this portion of
the Schedule B will be processed as if this item had been answered
``A''. If the filer answers this item ``D'' and the FCC computer cannot
find an exact match for the specified transmitter or channel for this
antenna at this location within the system or station, this portion of
the Schedule B will not be processed.
Item B31 This item specifies the center frequencies of the
channels on which the transmitters operate or are proposed to operate.

General Instructions for Schedule D, E, F, G and H
LOC letters A through F carry through on Schedule E Items E2-E8,
Schedule F Items F1-F13, Schedule G Items G1-G8, and Schedule H Items
H1-H5. It is requested that the applicant begin by inserting the
parameters of the principal base or mobile relay station on LOC line
``A'' (plus any other different class of station at that location),
followed by control station, fixed relay stations, etc. When more than
one class of station is proposed to be at a common location, use the
same permanent location letter A through F and a separate horizontal
line entry for each class of station, and furnish the information
required by the schedules for each separate class of station. For
example, if it is proposed to install a base station, a mobile relay
station, and a fixed relay station at common location ``A'', the
appropriate information must be entered on three (3) separate
horizontal lines. The next separate permanent location would use letter
``B'', etc.
Note: Applicants for all control stations in the 470-512 MHz
band (except those licensed under Part 22 of the FCC rules) must use
LOC letters A-F and furnish the information required by the
schedules.
In the 470-512 MHz band, applicants for mobile units, itinerant
stations and stations at temporary locations must furnish the
information requested in Schedule E Items E9-E12 and Schedule G Items
G1-G6. In the 220-222 MHz and above 512 MHz, applicants for control
stations with antenna heights meeting the 20 foot criteria and/or for
mobile units, itinerant stations and stations for temporary locations
must furnish the information requested in Schedule E Items E9-E12 and
Schedule G Items G1-G6. Below 470 MHz except 220-222 MHz, applicants
for control stations with antenna heights meeting the 20 foot criteria,
itinerant stations, stations at temporary locations, and mobile units
must furnish the information requested in Schedule E Items E9-E12 and
Schedule G Items G1-G5. Since LOC letters A through F are reserved for
permanent location stations, entries for control stations meeting the
20 foot criteria (excluding 470-512 MHz) may be inserted on one line.
If your application is approved, a license will be mailed to you.
This authorization permits you to commence operations. (Note: It is a

Specific Instructions for Schedule G Technical Data
Enter the Licensee Name, Radio Service and Call Sign or Station
Location city and state.
LOC letters for items G1 through G8 correspond to LOC letters on
Schedules E, F and H. Enter the LOC letter if other than letter A.
Item G1 Enter the specific frequency(ies) in megahertz. The
requested frequency(ies) must be available in the Commission's rules
governing the radio service in which you are seeking eligibility. Use a
separate line for each frequency, except that 800 MHz SMRS mobile(s)
and control(s) are now designated by frequency range ``806-821'' and
900 MHz SMRS mobile(s) and control(s) are now designated by frequency
range ``896-901''. Use a different letter (A-F) for each permanent
location and refer to Item G2 of these instructions for different
classes of stations. When multiple frequencies are used at one station
location, the LOC letter of the previous frequency must be entered.
Item G2 Enter the appropriate class of station code from the
following table. Definitions for most of these items are listed in the
Commission's rules.
Station Class Code Table

*Station associated with a mobile relay that employs the same frequency
as the associated mobile station for control purposes.
**Station operating on frequencies available for fixed use for control
purposes in accordance with applicable rules.
Note: Where appropriate follow each code with ``T'' for
Temporary, ``I'' for Itinerant, ``S'' for Standby, ``C'' for
Interconnect, ``J'' for Temporary Interconnect, ``K'' for Standby
Interconnect, and ``L'' for Itinerant Interconnect, (e.g., FBT
meaning Temporary Base).
Item G3 Enter the number of actual transmitting units at each
location. Normally, for a station at a pemanent/fixed location (base,
mobile relay, etc.) only one transmitter is involved; therefore, the
number ``1'' should be entered on lines (A) through (F). However, if
more than one transmitter is placed at the same location, so indicate.
The total number of mobile units is normally the sum of the units to be
placed in operation at the time of grant plus the units for which
purchase orders have already been signed and will be in use within
eight (8) months. There are some exceptions provided for in the rules
which should be noted.
For this item vehicular, portable, aircraft, and marine units are
considered to be mobiles. Paging receivers should not be counted as
mobile units, but must be listed separately in Schedule D, Item D11.
Item G4 Enter the bandwidth and class of emission for each
station. Normally, land mobile operations are intended to provide voice
communications. The new ITU (International Telecommunications Union)
emission designators must be used in place of the old designators. The
following provides samples of the corresponding new ITU designators for
the most commonly used emission designators.
Emission Designators
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Old New
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequency modulated (FM) voice............. 20F3 20K0F3E
Frequency modulated (FM) voice............. 13.6F3 13K6F3E
Frequency modulated digitized voice........ 20F3Y 20K0F1E
Frequency modulated digitized non-voice.... 20F9Y 20K0F1D
Amplitude modulated single sideband voice.. 3A3J 3K00J3E
Amplitude modulated (AM) voice............. 8A3 8K00A3E
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item G5 When operating with single side band (A3J or new
designator J3E) emission enter the peak envelope power, in Watts,
followed by the letter ``X'' which represents peak envelope power in
accordance with Appendix 1, ITU Radio Regulations. For operations using
A0, A1, A2, A3, A9, F0, F1, F2, F3, and F9 emissions, or the following
new emission designators N0N, A1A, A2D, A3E, A9W, F1B, F2D, F3E, and
F9W, enter the mean RF output power, in Watts, normally supplied by the
transmitter to the antenna feedline. (See applicable rules.)
Note: The power entered should be the minimum required for
satisfactory operations.
Item G6 This information is required, for operations above 10 MHz,
from applicants requesting new station authorizations, and for major
modifications described in the applicable rules.
Enter the effective radiated power. The ERP is the transmitter
output power times the net gain of the antenna system. The net gain of
the antenna system is the gain of the antenna minus the transmission
losses which include losses attributable to the transmission line,
duplexers, cavity filters and isolators. The actual formula is: ERP
(watts) equals Power (watts) times Antilog (net gain in dB divided by
10).
Item G7 For operations in 220-222 MHz and above 470 MHz, enter the
height of the antenna above ground elevation for the average terrain.
See the applicable rules for instructions for computing the height
above average terrain for the antenna. All other applicants may omit
this item.
Item G8 Enter the overall height above ground to the nearest meter
of the highest part of your antenna (antenna structure plus the height
of the antenna, if top mounted; the total height to the tip of the
antenna, if side-mounted). See antenna figures on Schedule F.
(a=antenna height to tip)
Specific Instructions for Schedule H Additional Antenna Data
General. All Remote Pick Up Broadcast Auxiliary Radio Service fixed
location stations and all stations proposing to operate on frequencies
below 27.5 MHz must complete Form 600 Schedule H. Failure to do so will
result in the return of your application without further action. Land
Mobile stations located near international borders that seek protection
from interference should also complete Form 600 Schedule H. Form 600
Schedule H may be completed for all other stations if you believe the
assumptions made by the FCC would leave your station insufficiently
protected internationally. The assumptions are listed under
International Registration for other than Parts 22 and 24 Applicants.
If you do not provide the actual data and an interference problem
arises involving another country's station, your station will be
protected only to the limit of the FCC's assumptions. You may have to
adjust. This is especially important for stations proposed to be
operated in any of the state-counties defined in Appendix 1 following
Form 600 Schedule H instructions.
Instructions for Completion of Individual Items
Enter the Licensee Name, Radio Service and Call Sign or Station
Location city and state.
LOC letters for items H1-H5 correspond to LOC letters on Schedules
E, F and G. Enter the station LOC letter code.
Item H1 Enter the transmitter frequency in megahertz corresponding
to the LOC letter codes (A, B, C, etc.) which uniquely define the
station location identified on Schedule E. When multiple frequencies
are used at one station location, the station location letter code of
the previous frequency must be entered.
Item H2 Enter the angle in the horizontal plane of the
transmitting antenna main lobe measured clock-wise with respect to True
North in degrees, or enter 360 to indicate the transmitting antenna is
non-directional.
Item H3 For directional antennas, enter the total angle in degrees
measured horizontally in a plane containing the direction of maximum
radiation within which the power radiated in any direction does not
fall more than 3 dB below the power radiated in the direction of
maximum radiation. This information should be available from the
specification sheet included with the antenna at time of purchase.
Item H4 Enter one of the code letters below representing the
polarization of the transmitting antenna for those circuits above 27.5
MHz:
E--Elliptical
F--45 Degrees
H--Horizontal
J--Linear
L--Left hand circular
R--Right hand circular
S--Horizontal and Vertical
T--Right and left hand circular
V--Vertical
X--Other (Provide a description)
Item H5 Enter the ratio, in decibels, of the power required at the
input of loss-free reference antenna to the power supplied to the input
of the given antenna to produce, in a given direction, the same field
strength or the same power flux-density at the same distance. This
information should be available from the specification sheet included
with the antenna at the time of purchase.
