  • Executive Summary
    Meeting: Study session Meeting date: September 14, 2020 Written report: 7 Executive summary Title: Comcast franchise renewal update Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered essential business and is Categorized as Time-Sensitive** • The report is presented for information only. No action is required. Policy consideration: Is the progress on the franchise renewal in keeping with council expectations? Summary: The city’s current franchise agreement with Comcast expires in January 2021. Upon receipt of Comcast’s request to renew its cable franchise in the city, the city notified Comcast of its intent to conduct informal renewal negotiations in accordance with the federal Cable Act. To prepare for negotiations, the city evaluated Comcast’s past performance under the existing franchise and conducted a needs assessment to determine the future cable-related Public- Educational-Government (PEG) community needs and interests of the city. This is the criteria prescribed by the Cable Act. Following the conclusion of the needs assessment, the city’s cable franchise attorney developed a draft franchise agreement, which the city plans to submit to Comcast for consideration. Financial or budget considerations: The final franchise agreement will determine the franchise fee, based on a percentage of gross revenues derived from cable service and PEG (public- educational-government) capital funding to be received by the city over the next franchise term, expected to be 10 years. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

  • California Interoperability Field Operations Guide (FOG)
    Cal-IFOG 1 June 2020 Letter of Introduction Since the first version of the California Interoperability Field Operations Guide (Cal-IFOG) was published in 2010, it has become an indispensable tool in day-to-day Public Safety communications and it encourages more efficient and effective use of our limited mutual aid spectrum. The Cal IFOG is a living document that is updated through the feedback provided by every operational area throughout California. Please accept my sincere gratitude for your efforts and I understand that without your input this update would not have been possible. The purpose of the Cal-IFOG is to provide a single source document for the usage guidelines of the statewide and National Interoperability channels in support of the California Statewide Communication Interoperability Plan (CalSCIP). Please keep in mind that the mutual aid frequencies are open to all emergency responders, who are encouraged to program their radios as appropriate and authorized. As always, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations with regards to licensing and operations should be followed. Every effort was made to ensure the information presented is accurate. In the event you do find an error, please contact either the California Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (CalSIEC), your Planning Area, or the Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC), and they will ensure the updates make it into the next version. Thank you to all that contributed to the development of the Cal-IFOG and those dedicated to ensuring that it stays relevant for years to come.

  • Airband Radio Operator Certificate Manual
    Airband Radio Operator Certificate Manual 1- Version: January 2012 About the airband radio operator license Very high frequency (VHF) airband radios are becoming more common as a tool for aircraft pilots to identify the location and intention of other aircraft in their vicinity (for VHF use at non-towered aerodromes see Civil Aviation Advisory Publication 166-1(0) and 166-2(0)).i In some classes of airspace the use of VHF airband radios is mandatory. Using a VHF airband radio requires a license endorsement. To obtain a VHF airband radio operators license you must satisfactorily (80% pass mark) complete both written and practical exams. This manual provides you with information regarding VHF airband radio use in Australia for the satisfactory completion of the written VHF airband radio operator examination. Radio communications in Australian are controlled by the Australian Communications and Media Authority ( www.acma.gov.au ). About the airband Airband radios transmit and receive a radio frequency. Radios are set to transmit and receive on specific frequencies across a band of frequencies. The radio waves that are transmitted and received are base on wavelengths and amplitudes. A cycle is one complete wave action. The frequency, measured in Hertz, is the number of cycles passing a given point in one second. One cycle per second = 1 Hertz (Hz) 1,000 Hz = 1 kilohertz (KHz) 1,000 KHz = 1 megahertz (MHz) 1,000 MHz = 1 gigahertz (GHz) The wavelength is the length of one cycle. The height of the peak or trough from the centreline is called the amplitude ; the greater the amplitude, the stronger the signal.

FAA Review. After several people at FAA headquarters reviewed our system's features and capability, Myron Clark, a senior Aviation Safety Inspector with FAA Flight Standards Technical Programs Division, (the department that evaluates such matters), has offered to be available to the FCC to assist in classifying our new technology appropriately. Mr. Clark suggested that our device is a "CTAF Advisory System for VFR Operations at Non-tower controlled airports." (CTAF, Common Traffic Advisory Frequency). Specifically he felt that our system was not an AWOS by the FAA's view, and thus it can and should operate on an airport's existing CTAF. By operating on CTAF \\'e would be providing the benefits of improved safety through consistent CTAF advisories, avoid a further burden on the limited radio spectrum available, and not require a discrete frequency, such as would be necessary for a continuous Awas transmission.

    4 International Radio Regulations 5.53 Administrations authorizing the use of frequencies below 9 kHz shall ensure that no harmful interference is caused thereby to the services to which the bands above 9 kHz are allocated. 5.54 Administrations conducting scientific research using frequencies below 9 kHz are urged to advise other administrations that may be concerned in order that such research may be afforded all practicable protection from harmful interference. 5.55 Additional allocation: in Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Russian Federation, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the band 14-17 kHz is also allocated to the radionavigation service on a primary basis. (WRC-07) 5.56 The stations of services to which the bands 14-19.95 kHz and 20.05-70 kHz and in Region 1 also the bands 72-84 kHz and 86-90 kHz are allocated may transmit standard frequency and time signals. Such stations shall be afforded protection from harmful interference. In Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Slovakia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the frequencies 25 kHz and 50 kHz will be used for this purpose under the same conditions. (WRC-07) 5.57 The use of the bands 14-19.95 kHz, 20.05-70 kHz and 70-90 kHz (72-84 kHz and 86-90 kHz in Region 1) by the maritime mobile service is limited to coast radiotelegraph stations (A1A and F1B only). Exceptionally, the use of class J2B or J7B emissions is authorized subject to the necessary bandwidth not exceeding that normally used for class A1A or F1B emissions in the band concerned.
