  § 90.635   Limitations on power and antenna height.

   (a) The effective radiated power and antenna height for base stations
   may not exceed 1 kilowatt (30 dBw) and 304 m. (1,000 ft.) above average
   terrain (AAT), respectively, or the equivalent thereof as determined
   from the Table. These are maximum values, and applicants will be
   required to justify power levels and antenna heights requested.

   (b) The maximum output power of the transmitter for mobile stations is
