Educational Communications of Colorado Springs, Inc. Ku-Band Satellite Uplink STA Request Statement of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers The firm of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers, has been retained by the Educational Communications of Colorado Springs, Inc. (ECCS), licensee of Noncommercial Educational FM Station KTLF, Channel 213C0, 90.5 MHz, Colorado Springs, Colorado, to prepare the technical portions of an application for Special Temporary Authority (STA) for a new Ku-band satellite uplink station at the KTLF studios, 1665 Briargate Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Reason for STA ECCS operates an extensive network of FM Translator stations, fed by satellite. This uplink, formerly E930054, was inadvertently allowed to expire in 2003. Also, circa 2007, the uplink had been relocated by 1.9 km, from the previously licensed location of 1802 Chapel Hills Drive, Colorado Springs, to the current KTLF studios at 1665 Briargate Boulevard, Colorado Springs. The expired license and location discrepancy were only recently discovered by new KTLF staff. In order to avoid disruption of the FM translator network, ECCS is requesting STA for the continued operation of the uplink until its application for a new satellite uplink license is granted. As is documented in a just- filed Ku-band uplink license application, Application Submission ID IB2012000580, the uplink is in compliance with FCC guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. A copy of the RF safety exhibit is also included as an attachment to this STA application. Summary An application for a new uplink license, at the current location, has been filed. Grant of STA will allow the continued operation of the ECCS FM Translator network without interruption, and is respectfully requested. _____________________________________ February 17, 2012 Dane E.
