§  5.89   School and student authorizations.

   The Commission may issue an authorization to schools or students for
   the purpose of presenting experiments or technical demonstrations for
   school or school approved projects that require the use of radio for a
   limited period of time. Such authorizations may be granted at the
   discretion of the Commission.

   (a) An application for a school or student authorization may be filed
   in letter form and must comply with the provisions of §  5.63, of this
   part except where specified below. The application must be accompanied
   by a signed statement from a member of faculty of the school, on
   appropriate letterhead, indicating the person under whose general
   supervision the project will be conducted. In the case of student
   authorizations, the letter must state that the project has the approval
   of the school.

   (b) Frequencies in the following bands are available for assignment in
   authorizations issued under this section:

   27.23-27.28 MHz.

   460-461 MHz.

   462.525-467.475 MHz.

   2402-2483.5 MHz.

   10.00-10.50 GHz.

   (c) Operations under this section are limited to 4 watts equivalent
   isotropically radiated power (EIRP). The Commission may authorize a
   greater power if a satisfactory showing is made that such greater power
   is necessary and that appropriate measures will be taken to prevent
   interference.

   (d) The frequency of operation must be measured or checked prior to
   each time of operation.

   (e) Subject to the provisions of (b), (c) and (d), the provisions in
   subpart C of this part are waived insofar as such provisions require a
   station authorized under this section to observe the technical and
   operating restrictions set forth therein.

   (f) The licensee holding an authorization issued under this section
   shall maintain a record of operation containing the following
   information:

   (1) A brief description of the experimentation being conducted.

   (2) The date and time of each period of operation.

   (3) The frequency of operation as measured or checked at the beginning
   of each period of operation.

   (g) The record of operation shall be retained for one month after the
   termination of the authorization.
