( <br />11 <br />April 20, 1987 <br />Hakanson <br />Anderson <br />Assoc., Inc. <br />Mr. Dave Hartley, City Admin. <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Re: Response to 3/21/87 Letter <br />Mayor Heimann <br />Dear Dave: <br />Engineers. Surveyors & <br />Landscape Architects <br />From Northern Oxygen to <br />You requested that we address the concerns which Northern Oxygen <br />raised relative to radio communication. Specifically, their <br />concerns are "Northern Oxygen has radio communication to our <br />trucks, with the airport it would make it very difficult or <br />impossible." <br />The airport has been served by UNICOM at a frequency of 122.8 and <br />has had a VOR nonprecision approach on Runway 34 at 117.3 for a <br />number of years. These frequencies are so vastly different than <br />those assigned a mobile/base station such as Northern Oxygen that <br />no interference is created. The Federal Communications Commission <br />(FCC) assigns specific radio frequencies for each base operator <br />(see Hakanson Anderson Associates attached). <br />In point of fact, the airport and Northern Oxygen have coexisted <br />for years each with their own communication frequencies. I double <br />checked with the FBO to ascertain whether he or anyone else he is <br />aware of has ever experienced a radio communication problem at <br />Gateway which might be attributed to base station or mobile <br />operators. He is not aware of any past problems. We would not <br />anticipate any impacts in this regard as a result of the planned <br />improvements. <br />Sincerely, <br />HAKANSON ANDERSON ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />..c,1,C <br />Merl{nd Otto <br />/mlc <br />222 Monroe Street <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br />612/427-5860 <br />Eugene J.
