Dear Oak Forest Amateur Radio Club (KE5TRB),

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:  29⁰ N 50’ 14.4”, 95⁰ W 27’ 32.299999999999997”.   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.

Mike Etzel
