> Dear Steven Koman (K4SCK),
> 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:  35⁰ N 17’ 44”, 80⁰ W 40’ 16”.   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.
