    On November 24, 2000, Great Western Aviation, Inc. (Great Western) 
filed an application for renewal of aeronautical advisory (unicom) 
station KQA7 in Logan, Utah. Unicom stations provide information 
concerning flying conditions, weather, availability of ground services, 
and other information to promote the safe and expeditious operation of 
aircraft. On December 7, 2000, Utah Jet Center, LLC (Utah Jet Center) 
filed an application for a new unicom station at the same location. 
Both applicants propose to provide service at Logan-Cache Airport, 
where there is no control tower or FAA flight service station. Under 
Sec. 87.215(b) of the Commission's rules, only one unicom station may 
be licensed at such airports. Accordingly, these applications are 
mutually exclusive and must therefore be designated for comparative 
hearing.
