Last Name: James
First Name: Carlson
Title: CEO
Phone Number: 707-822-7000

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
TV white space radios have still yet to be tested in highly rural, rugged, and forested areas. Carlson Wireless, partnered with Great Auk Wireless, would like to therefore test their product in the rural areas of greater New England, where we believe the rolling hills and thick forests will provide an ideal case study.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  To gain further insight into TV white space characteristics and subsequent potential applications.

Callsign: WE9XUT
Class of Station: FX
Nature of Service: Experimental

Requested Period of Operation
Operation Start Date: 03/20/2011
Operation End Date: 09/20/2011
