We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Group A 2000 to 2100 kc
Group C 60,000 to 86,000 kc.
Group B 42,000 to 56,000 kc
Group D Any 6,000 kc freq u e n c y band above 110,000 kc excluding 4 0 0,000 to 401,000 kc. (b)A licensee of a television station for Group A shall carry forward a comprehensive program of experimentation to determine the secondary or rural coverage of the station, and shall suitably locate receiving equipment and other apparatus, and shall make the necessary measurements to determine the quality and characteristics of the secondary or sky-wave service area. Television transmission only will be authorized in this band, and each license will authorize the entire band. No aural broadcast will be authorized therein.
(c) A license for a television broadcast station in groups B, C or D will specify a frequency band wherein two adjacent carrier frequencies shall be selected, one for the visual and one for the aural broadcast. The lower carrier frequency shall be for visual broadcast and the higher carrier frequency for the aural broadcast.
(d) A licensee will be granted only one station in each frequency group for operation in the same service area.
(e) An application may be made for one frequency band (to include the visual and the aural carriers) in groups B, C and D. However, if it is desired to operate in more than one group, it will be necessary to make separate applications for a station in each group.
(f) Applicants shall specify the band width of the emissions required for the proposed transmission.
(g) Carrier frequencies shall be so selected and emissions controlled that no emission from any cause will result outside the frequency band authorized by the license.
(h) An applicant shall select a frequency band in the group which is believed best suited for the experiments to be conducted and will cause the least or no interference to established stations.
The power output rating of a television broadcast station shall not be in excess of that necessary to carry forward the program of research. The operating power may be maintained at the maximum rating or less, as the conditions of operation may require.
A supplemental report shall be filed
with and made a part of each application for renewal of license and shall include statements of the following:
1. Number of hours operated for transmission of television programs.
2. Comprehensive report of research and experimentation conducted.
3. Conclusions and program for further developments of the television broadcast service.
4. All developments and major changes in equipment.
5. Any other pertinent developments.
Facsimile Broadcast Stations
The term "facsimile broadcast station" means a station licensed to transmit images of still objects for record reception by the general public.
A license for a facsimile broadcast station will be issued only after a satisfactory showing has been made in regard to the following, among others:
1. That the applicant has a program of research and experimentation which indicates reasonable promise of substantial contribution to the development of the facsimile broadcast service.
2. That the program of research and experimentation will be conducted by qualified engineers.
3. That the applicant is legally and financially qualified and possesses adequate technical facilities to carry forward the program.
4. That the public interest, convenience and/or necessity will be served through the operation of the proposed station.
(a) A licensee of a facsimile broadcast station shall not make any charge, directly or indirectly, for the transmission of programs.
(b) No licensee of any other broadcast station or network shall make any additional charge, directly or indirectly, for the transmission of programs by a facsimile broadcast station, nor shall commercial accounts be solicited by any licensee of another broadcast station or network, or others acting in their behalf, upon representation that images concerning that commercial program will be transmitted by a facsimile station.
(a) The following frequencies are allocated for assignment to facsimile broadcast stations on an experimental basis provided no interference is caused to the television stations operating in the band 2000-2100 kilocycles:
2012 kc 2016 kc 2096 kc
(b) If the facsimile program of research and experimentation cannot be
