C. 20036- 1795 Re: Call Sign E050008 File No. SES- LIC- 20050112- 00035 Dear Mr. Michalopoulos: On January 12, 2005, EchoStar Satellite L. L. C. (“ EchoStar”) filed the above- captioned application for authority to operate a Ka- Band 1 earth station in Cheyenne, Wyoming. For the reason discussed below, we dismiss the application as defective, without prejudice. Section 25.115( e) of the Commission’s rules provides that “[ A] pplications to license individual earth station operating in the 20/ 30 GHz band shall be filed on FCC Form 312, Main Form and Schedule B, and shall also include the information describe in Section 25.138.” A review of the application has revealed that EchoStar failed to submit the radiation patterns required by Section 25.138( d). Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112( a)( 1) 2 and Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules, EchoStar’s application IS DISMISSED as defective, without prejudice to refiling 3 . Sincerely, Scott A. Kotler Chief, Systems Analysis Branch Satellite Division 1 18.6 GHz- 18. 8 GHz, 19. 7 GHz- 20. 2 GHz and 28. 4 GHz- 28.6 GHz, 29. 5 GHz- 30. 0 GHz. 2 47 C. F. R. §§ 25. 112( a)( 1) and 0.261.
