Station Details

Enter detailed information for a fixed station.

Fields

Application Type

Indicates if the current record represents new information or modifications to Industry Canada's information about your existing systems. (Note that you cannot update this selection once you save the record.) When you first create the record, select Create New to specify information about a new station, or select Search and Modify to change information related to an existing authorized station. Each time you select Search and Modify, the Search ALS Authorized Fixed Stations page appears in a new window so that you can find and retrieve information about your authorized fixed stations.

Licence Number

Licence number of a single licence for an authorized station. Applies to modified stations only (blank for new stations). The value is set automatically after you select a station to be modified.

Licence Type

The type of fixed station. Most fixed stations are land stations. Can be:

• Land station (default): a station in communication with other land stations or land-based mobile stations
• Coast station: a station in communication with marine stations (i.e., ships)

Because land stations and coast stations are considered to be two different types of stations, you would require two stations when you communicate with both land-based and marine stations.

Call Sign

Station call letters used for on-air station identification. Derived from our records for modified stations, or generated by the system when you save a new station.

Last Edited

Date generated by the system when the associated record was most recently saved.

Municipality, Province/Territory AND Street Address; Site Name; or Legal Land Description

Geographical name of the station's location. The location of your station, which should include all the information elements requested. If possible, the information provided in this field should identify the precise location of your antenna structure.

Additional Address Information (if necessary)

Provide additional information for the address that could not be entered in the previous field, if necessary.

Coordinate Origin

Indicates whether a topographic map or global positioning system (GPS) was used to determine coordinates. If you use GPS, be sure to set your receiver to use either the NAD27 or NAD83 coordinate system as required on our application forms. (The various coordinate systems will produce slightly different results, possibly introducing errors in your station's location.)

Coordinate Format

Indicates system used for coordinates entered. (NAD 83 coordinates are converted to NAD 27 coordinates when transferred to our licensing database.)

Latitude (ddmmss)

Latitude North of the station's antenna or for a transportable station, latitude of the centre of area of operation. Must be between 400000 and 900000. (The processing of your application may be delayed if accurate geographic coordinates are not provided.)

Longitude (dddmmss)

Lontitude West of the station's antenna or for a transportable station, longitude of the centre of area of operation. Must be between 500000 and 1450000. (The processing of your application may be delayed if accurate geographic coordinates are not provided.)

Ground Elevation Above Mean Sea Level (m)

Height of the ground above mean sea level at the location of the antenna supporting structure, in meters. Should be between 0 and 6000. Mandatory except for transportable stations.

Is this a transportable station?

Indicates whether the station is transportable. A transportable station is a fixed station that may be relocated to other sites within a specified area, but is not in operation when it is being transported.

Radius of Operation (km)

Radius of operation of the transportable station, in kilometres. Defines the area within which the transportable station may be relocated. Must be between 1 and 3000. Mandatory entry for transportable station; not applicable to fixed stations.

Antenna Structure Height Above Ground Level (m)

Height of the antenna supporting structure, above ground level, in metres. Should be between 1 and 560. Mandatory except for transportable stations.

Is the station part of an antenna farm?

Indicates whether the antenna is part of an antenna farm. An antenna farm is defined as a site having four or more transmit frequencies belonging to two or more licensees within a 61m radius.

Are there broadcast antenna structures...?

Indicates whether the applicant is aware of a broadcast antenna within 2 km of their proposed fixed installation.
