Exhibit 14
Description:
OPERATION

THE LICENSEE WAS PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED AN STA TO OPERATE AT THE CONSTRUCTION PERMIT SITE BP-20071126AHS. THE APPLICANT CONCURRENTLY IS FILING A CONSTRUCTION PERMIT APPLICATION TO REDUCE THE NIGHTIME OPERATION TO A SECONDARY OPERATION. IT IS NO LONGER FESSIBLE TO CONSTRUCT THE TWO TOWER ARRAY FOR NIGHTIME DIRECTIONAL OPERATION. THE DAYTIME POWER WILL REMAIN THE SAME AS PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED. THE APPLICANT, AFTER CONSULTATION WITH FCC STAFF DETERMINED THAT A MINOR CHANGE APPLICATION TO IMPACT SECONDARY OPERATION WAS NECESSARY.

Exhibit 16
Description:
SPECIAL TEMPORARY REQUEST

KIMM WAS AWARDED A CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AT THE PROPOSED STA LOCATION WHICH RECENTLY EXPIRED. THE PROPOSED STA IS TO OPERATE WITH TEMPORARY FACILITIES PENDING THE APPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT TO ELIMINATE THE NIGHTIME DIRECTIONAL OPERATIONS. KIMM HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN AUTHORIZED AN STA AT THE SITE PENDING COMPLETION OF THE NIGHTIME DIRECTIONAL FACILITIES. THE LICENSEE WILL ABANDON THE DIRECTIONAL FACILITIES DUE TO PROFFING DIFFICULTIES. THE PROPOSED SITE IS LESS THEN 3.2 KILOMETERS FROM THE LICENSED OPERATIONS. DAYTIME POWER OF 5 KILOWATTS AND 0.066 WATTS NIGHTIME IS REQUESTED PENDING FINAL APPROVAL OF A CONCURRENTLY FILED APPLICATION WITH PROVISIONS OF SECTION 73.1615.
