 Re:  Call  Sign  E050045  File  No.  SES-  LIC-  20050218-  00202 
 Dear  Mr.  Michalopoulos: 
 On  February  18,  2005  EchoStar  Satellite  L.  L.  C.  (“  EchoStar”)  filed  the  above-  captioned  application  for  authority  to  operate  a  Ka-  Band  1  earth  station  in  Gilbert,  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). 
 In  addition,  EchoStar  failed  to  provide  the  total  input  power  at  antenna  flange  information  in  the  application  Form  312,  Schedule  B,  Item  E38. 


 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  Kotler  Chief,  Systems  Analysis  Branch 
 Satellite  Division
