Great information… Thanks! 73, Tom – W3TOM From: Christopher Imlay [mailto:w3kd.arrl@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 7, 2018 1:13 PM To: Tom Abernethy <w3tom@verizon.net> Cc: arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Subject: Re: [arrl-odv:27067] Re: Electrical Transmission Using The "Zenneck Surface Wave" No. We don't get notices when STAs are issued in Amateur spectrum. We have asked FCC to do that in the past and they have been reluctant to do it. They realize that we tend to be aggressive about opposing intrusions into Amateur spectrum. Ed Hare spotted this in the normal course of monitoring experimentals and STAs, which we do.

Here is an excerpt from the narrative from the application. The EMC Committee has been looking into this application in the past few days. If they conclude there is reason to contact the communications lawyer for the applicant, we will do so. Texzon anticipates that the demonstrations will be non-radiating. To conduct the demonstrations, the RF power necessary to maintain the voltage to produce local fields required to launch a high velocity propagating surface wave will be utilized. The testing will not exceed 50 kW of RF input power to the surface wave launching probe at 1710 kHz. The intent is to produce a surface wave without producing any Norton ground wave radiation. Texzon believes that the EIRP will be limited to 1000 watts. Texzon will conduct other testing in the spectrum range from 1710 kHz to 1900 kHz but the input power will be less than 5 kW for those tests with EIRP limited to 100 watts or less for that testing.
