NOTE: This form must be submitted along with your FCC Form 601 submission (can be submitted as an attachment if filing electronically).
Item 1: Enter the location of your proposed station. All coordinates must be referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). This information can be determined in many ways, including a GPS receiver, a 7.5-minute topographical quadrangle map of the area, or you may consult the city or county/borough/parish surveyor in your area. Topographical maps may be purchased from the U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, DC 20242 or from its office in Denver, Colorado 80225. Enter the latitude using the format DD-MM-SS.S, where the degrees (DD) term can have a value in the range of 0 to 72, minutes (MM) can range from 0 to 59, and seconds (SS.S) can range from 0 to 59.9. If desired, seconds may be rounded to the nearest tenth of a second (in which case, use the format DD-MM-SS.S). In the right corner, specify the direction as either N for North or S for South. Enter the longitude using the format DDD-MM-SS.S, where the degrees (DDD) term can have a value in the range of 64 to 180, minutes (MM) can range from 0 to 59, and seconds (SS.S) can range from 0 to 59.9.
