Re: Call Sign E080013
File No. SES-LIC-20080115-00051
Dear Mr. Gordon:
On January 15, 2008, McLean Bible Church filed the above-captioned application seeking authority 
to operate a new transmit and receive earth station that will operate in the Conventional Ku-band.1  
Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1), we dismiss the 
application as defective without prejudice to refiling.2
Section 25.112 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112, requires the Commission to return, as 
unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not substantially complete, contains 
internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission’s rules.  McLean 
Bible Church’s application contains internal inconsistencies with respect to emission power, which 
renders it unacceptable and subject to dismissal.  The deficiency is as follows:
In response to item E49 of Schedule B, McLean Bible Church lists a maximum equivalent isotropic 
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) density per carrier for emission designator 9M00H1F of the transmit 
frequency as 35.46 dBW/4kHz.  This value is less than, and therefore inconsistent with, the average 
value of 42.29 dBW/4kHz that we calculate using the e.i.r.p. value of 75.81 dBW McLean Bible 
Church provides in response to item E48 and the 9 megahertz bandwidth of the corresponding H1F 
emission McLean Bible Church provides in response to item E47 of Schedule B.  Given this 
inconsistency, we cannot determine the proposed emission power.
  
1 11.7-12.2 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz.
2 If McLean Bible Church refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of 
supplying the corrected information, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1109(d).

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(1), 
and Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules on delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, we 
dismiss McLean Bible Church’s application without prejudice to refiling.
Sincerely,
