Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: Clarification Concerning SWE—DISH Call Sign E080208 Dear Ms. Dortch: SWE—DISH Satellite Systems, Inc. ("SWE—DISH") operates the Drive—Away CCT120 transportable earth station ("CCT120") pursuant to Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") authority granted under Call Sign EO80208.‘ The CCT120 is an elliptical antenna with a major axis of 1.2 meters and a minor axis of 0.833 meters. This letter clarifies that the Fly—Away FAI20KS ("FA1I20KS") earth station is manufactured to the identical specifications as the CCT120 SWE—DISH also clarifies that future applications seeking permanent authority to operate the FA120KS may cross reference Call Sign E080208 to satisfy the antenna gain pattern obligations specified in Commission Rule Section 25.132(b)(3).‘ Pursuant to the Commission‘s streamlined earth station licensing procedures, applicants proposing to use non—routine earth station antennas are not required to provide antenna radiation plots as exhibits to their applications.* Instead, such applicants need only provide the file number and call sign for an existing license that authorizes use of the proposed antenna. As Boston discussed above, the FA1I20KS and CCT120 are identical and share identical Hartford Hong Kong radiofrequency emission characteristics. For the purposes of evaluating compliance with London earth station antenna performance standards, these antennas should be considered the Los Angeles same model. New York Orange County | See File No. SES—LIC—20080918—01222; see also File No. SES—MOD—20090317—00330. San Francisco Santa Monica * Please note that the primary reflector of the Fly—Away FA120OKS is made of a different composite Silicon Valley material than the CCT120. The two antennas are otherwise identical and share identical radiofrequency Tokyo emission characteristics. _ Walnut Creek * 47 C.F.R. § 25.132(b)(3).
