A GRE EMENT b etween the Telecommunication Administ ra tion of the Russian Federation and the Telecommunication Administ ra tion of the Republic of Estonia on the technical criteria and procedure applied in bilateral coordination in frequency band 87 . 5 – 108 . 0 MHz Moscow 201 7 1. General R epresentatives of General Radio Frequency Centre and Estonian Technical Regulatory Authority (hereinafter referred as Parties) have concluded the present A gre ement o n th e use of the frequency band 87 . 5 – 108 . 0 MHz by VHF sound broadcasting and achieve d a common understanding in respect to technical criteria and procedure applied in bilateral coordination and amending criteria specified in the Regional Agreement , Geneva 19 84 . 2 . Technical criteria and procedure s 2. 1. The propagation model to be used for calculation of wanted and interfer ing field strength should be the method for point-to-area predictions for Terrestrial Services taken from the latest version of the ITU – R Recommendation P.1546. 2. 2 . Interference field strength is calculated for 50 % location probability and 1 % time probability for tropospheric propagation or 50 % for continuous signal. 2. 3 . The power sum method for the interfering field strength aggregation shall be used . 2. 4 . Directivity discrimination of receiving antenna should be taken into account according to ITU-R Recommendation BS.599 . 2. 5 . P olarization discrimination of receiving antenna should be taken into account. 2. 6 . IF 10 . 7 MHz should not be taken into account. 2. 7 . For land-sea discrimination the ITU Digitized World Map ( IDWM ) should be used for defining country and land/sea borders . 2. 8 . The service area of the wanted station to be protected is considered as usable field strength contour located inside territory of the respective P arty calculated taking into account up to 20 interferers. 2. 9 . The normally acceptable increase of the usable field strength of the victim station is 0 . 3 dB . Increase of the usable field strength is evaluated at test points located on the service area contour. 3. C oordination procedure 3. 1. The period of coordination shall not exceed 90 days from the day of receipt of the request . 3. 2 . If more detailed analysis is required the respective Party can ask for additional information and extension of time for coordination with submission of relative arguments . 3. 3 . In presence of harmful interference claims shall be presented in accordance with the Appendix 10 of the Radio Regulations. The Parties shall take all possible measures to eliminate the interference. 3. 4 . Technical and administrative matters arising in the course of coordination shall be solved by correspondence (telephone, fax or e-mail) or at the meeting of experts. 4. Modification and Termination of the A gre ement 4 .1. Additions and/or changes to this Agreement may be made by mutual agreement of the Parties. 4.2. This A gre ement can be cancelled by a mutual decision of both Parties on terms and conditions adopted by these Parties. 5. Coming into force 5 . 1 . The present A gre ement will come into force from the date of its signing. 5 . 2 . The present A gre ement has been drawn up in English in two copies.
