Dear Emory Haines (WM3M),
This notice is being provided to Approve your proposed amateur radio
station in the 135.7 - 137.8 | 472.0 - 479.0 band(s) at the following
coordinates: 39⁰ N 17’ 23”, 77⁰ W 7’ 50”. UTC has determined that
your proposed amateur radio station would not operate within a
horizontal distance of one kilometer from a transmission line that
conducts a power line carrier (PLC) signal in the 135.7 - 137.8 | 472.0
- 479.0 bands.
An amateur operator must not operate an amateur station if UTC responds
that the proposed amateur station is located within 1 km of a
transmission line with a PLC system that operates on the same frequency
or frequency range. Amateur operators are advised that their operations
within 1 km of a PLC system could cause interference to PLC systems that
are used by electric utilities to protect their electric transmission
systems against faults and electrical outages. Interference from
amateur operations could affect the operation of PLC systems, thereby
affecting the reliability of electric utility operations. As such,
amateur operators are advised not to operate any amateur stations within
1 km of a transmission line with a PLC system that operates on the same
frequency or frequency range, and amateur operators will be subject to
FCC enforcement for unauthorized operations, as well as potential legal
liability for damages that result from interference caused by amateur
operations to PLC systems.
Please direct any questions to the undersigned.
