{ <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> Description of operations <br /> k <br /> The proposed facility is to be built for the purpose of transmitting the FM radio signal of <br /> station KOSO. This purpose of this project is to re-locate the transmitter site for KOSO <br /> which will improve the stations coverage area. Radio station KOSO presently operates <br /> from the top of Mount Oso. The distance to the population centers and the low power of <br /> the stations transmitter atop mount Oso have proven to cause reception problems in the <br /> coverage area. The re-location to Brady road will provide a much superior signal to the <br /> population within the coverage area and greatly increase the number of people in the <br /> coverage area. <br /> The facility will consist of: <br /> A 538' tower to support the transmitting antenna <br /> This tower is uniform cross section, guyed, painted and lighted in accordance with <br /> FCC and FAA authorizations. Red lights at night, orange/white paint for day. <br /> A FM broadcast transmitting antenna located at the top of the tower <br /> A transmission line (coaxial cable) to the antenna from the transmitter building <br /> A. 6' diameter STL dish antenna mounted at the 400' level of the tower to receive the <br /> audio form the studio. <br /> A transmission line for the dish antenna <br /> An emergency power generator in it's own weather proof housing <br /> Propane fuel tank for the generator, probably either 250 or 500 gallons, typical tank <br /> A transmitter building that will house: <br /> A FM broadcast transmitter <br /> Ancillary broadcast equipment (STL receiver, remote control equipment etc) <br /> Air conditioning <br /> Lighting <br /> Security equipment (burglar alarm, security camera recorders, etc) <br /> The proposed use of the building will be to contain the transmitting equipment <br /> and spare parts_ <br /> The transmitter receives an audio signal from the studio via the STL(studio transmitter <br /> link) and frequency modulates a radio frequency signal that is sent up to the antenna via <br /> the coaxial cable. The antenna concentrates the signal in the direction of the horizon <br /> providing an apparent power gain and also has specific characteristics to shape the signal <br /> in azimuth as well thereby sending the signal in the desired directions and limiting it in <br /> directions that would cause interference to other stations. <br /> The power output of the transmitter will be approximately 10,000 watts. This power <br /> output combined with the loss of the coax cable and the gain of the antenna will produce <br /> and ERP (effective radiated power) of 50,000 watts. Frequency of operation is 93.lMhz. <br /> The equipment will all be purchased new and will be state of the art_ The equipment will <br /> be installed and adjusted to fully comply with FCC and FAA R&R. <br /> Page 1 <br />
