Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
We plan to deploy 1W narrow band (10Hz bandwidth) CW tone transmitters emitting signals at 2900.00MHz, 10699.95MHz, 10700.00MHz, 10700.05MHz.
Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Measuring EM signal across Salton Sea, CA for the US Navy Experiment REDSAW (Radar and Electromagnetic wave Ducting in the Stable Atmosphere over Water) from April 29-May 25, 2024
