 Frequency Coordination Above 1 gHz
Larry Miller

 NBC will be airing the Williams LPGA Golf Classic at Tulsa Country Club on September 7 - 9. They requested the use of two 2GHz channels for rf camera usage and one 2.5GHz channel for blimp usage. KTUL offered them the use of channel 4. Other Tulsa users names were given to NBC for contact purposes.

 

Frequency Coordination Below 1 gHz
Rich Hardy

The LPGA will be at the Tulsa Country Club September 7-9. NBC will setup that week and broadcast throughout the weekend using the same frequencies as the US Open. This should be OK because we never had any trouble with any of the NBC frequencies at the Open. The golf course plus 1/4 mile around will be a coordinated area, no high power radios please. No other entity has requested coordination as of today. Local stations that want to use frequencies at the course please FAX those frequencies to me at 252-9688 as soon as possible.
