operations in the 17.7-17.8 GHz band or to operate in the 17.8-19.7 GHz 
band for any service, or for modification of an existing station license 
in these bands which would change the frequency, power, emission, 
modulation, polarization, antenna height or directivity, or location of 
such a station, must be coordinated with the Federal Government by the 
Commission before an authorization will be issued, if the station or 
proposed station is located in whole or in part within any of the areas
