An STA is basically a permit for operation not normally allowed a license holder. However, RF immunity testing covers so many frequencies, at such power, that unless the nearest town is over the horizon, and you have jungle canopy overhead to absorb RF and keep from jamming satellites, I think it unlikely you could get an STA for full immunity testing outside a chamber. And you do NOT want to be the folks who jammed reception during the crucial play of the Super Bowl!
The FCC does grant experimental licenses for specific frequencies, for specific purposes. You might do well to look at that.

Does anyone have any details on this "STA" process and who to contact to complete this STA application.
