Guidelines for HF High Speed STA.

1. As requested by HSMM:
   28.100 to 28.300 MHz, 200 kHz, 600 bps
   50.600 to 50.800 MHz, 200 kHz, 600 bps.

2. HSMM also requested 50 kHz or more in the 3.5, 7 and 10 MHz bands and 100 kHz in the 21 MHz band which cannot be supported by TTF. Following successful implementation at the two authorized bands, a second STA will be considered by TTF at one or more of the lower frequency bands on a limited basis to analyze feasibility.

3. The HSMM WG must define the stations and locations to participate in the STA.

4. The remaining parameters of the STA request were accepted by TTF.

5. Some funding will be proposed by the TTF to support a number of transceivers to be deployed.
