PROXY STATEMENT
The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. (the "Company") for use at the Company's Annual Meeting
of Stockholders to be held on December 19, 1995. It may be revoked at any time
before exercise by delivering a written notice of revocation to the Secretary of
the Company, by executing a subsequent proxy and presenting it to the Secretary
of the Company, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. The
persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented by it in
accordance with the directions specified therein. If no directions are
specified, the proxy will be voted for the nominees for election as directors
and for each matter described herein.
Only holders of record of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.10 (the
"Common Stock"), at the close of business on November 1, 1995 (the "Record
Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, with each
holder having one vote per share. As of the Record Date, a total of 2,605,344
shares of Common Stock were outstanding. It is anticipated that the mailing to
Stockholders of this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy will commence by
November 7, 1995.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record at the close
of business on the Record Date of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Directors will be elected
by a plurality of the votes cast (i.e., the two nominees receiving the greatest
number of votes will be elected as directors). The ratification of the selection
of auditors will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals.
Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to any proposal (which occur
when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a
particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power
with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial
owner) will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a
quorum. Abstentions also will be counted in determining the number of shares
present and entitled to vote on such proposal, but broker non-votes are not
counted as entitled to vote thereon.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS OF COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP.
To the Company's knowledge, the following persons individually, or as a

(1) Mr. Kornberg's amounts in fiscal 1994 and 1993 consist of an automobile
allowance and accrued vacation and sick days not used. With respect to Mr.
Higgins, the amount in fiscal 1995 represents payments for unused accrued
vacation and sick days and an automobile allowance.
-5-
<PAGE>
(2) Mr. Kornberg is employed pursuant to an agreement which was amended and
restated in August 1992 for the purpose of, among other things, extending
his employment for an additional five years. As so amended, the agreement
provides, among other things, for his employment until August 1997 at a
current basic compensation rate of $185,000 per annum and incentive
compensation, not to exceed his basic compensation, equal to 1% of the
Company's pre-tax income plus such additional amounts as the Board of
Directors may from time to time determine. Fifty percent of any such
incentive compensation is payable to Mr. Kornberg in the November following
the fiscal year to which such compensation relates, an additional 25% is
payable on the first anniversary of the initial 50% payment, and the final
25% is payable on the second anniversary of the initial payment. If Mr.
Kornberg voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company other than
after a Change in Control (as defined in his employment agreement), or if
the Company terminates his employment due to disability or for cause, he
will forfeit his right to receive accrued but unpaid incentive
compensation. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, Mr. Kornberg
is entitled to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment
(subject to possible adjustments to avoid the characterization of the
payment as excess parachute payments and the consequent imposition of taxes
under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) equal to the sum
of (i) his then basic compensation for the balance of the employment period
or three times his basic compensation, whichever is greater, (ii) accrued
but unpaid incentive compensation with respect to prior fiscal years and
(iii) if he so elects, the market value less the applicable exercise price,
of any stock option then held by him. The aggregate of (i), (ii) and
(iii), as of October 17, 1995, would have been $581,228. Mr. Kornberg
would also be entitled to receive benefits under the Company's benefit
plans, or substantially equal benefits, for the remainder of the employment
period.
(3) Pursuant to his amended employment agreement and after stockholder
approval, Mr. Kornberg purchased 50,000 forfeitable shares of the Company's
Common Stock at a price of $.50 per share. The closing sale price of the
Common Stock on August 20, 1992, the date the Company and Mr. Kornberg
contracted for the sale and purchase of such shares, was $4.25. The shares
are subject to forfeiture in full if Mr. Kornberg voluntarily terminates
his employment prior to August 1997 (except after a Change in Control as
defined in the employment agreement) or if the Company terminates his
employment for Cause (as defined in the employment agreement). If
dividends were to be declared on the Company's Common Stock, these shares
which constitute the aggregate restricted stock holdings of Mr. Kornberg,
would be entitled to receive such dividends along with all other
outstanding shares.
(4) Mr. Windus, Mr. Burt and Mr. Higgins are eligible to receive, in addition
to their respective base compensation amounts, incentive compensation of up
to 2.5% of the relevant subsidiary's pre-tax profits and Mr. Javits is
eligible to receive up to 15% of his base compensation, based principally
upon the attainment of various goals. These goals which may include target
levels of sales, pre-tax profits, customer orders or cash flow, are
developed by senior management and submitted to the Executive Compensation
Committee for annual approval.

(1) "In-the-Money Options" would be options outstanding at the end of the last
fiscal year for which the fair market value of the Common Stock on such date
($2.25) exceeded the exercise price of the options.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors who are not salaried officers of the Company receive an annual
retainer of $8,000, plus $500 for each Board meeting attended by them (up to an
additional $2,000 per annum). Under the Stock Option Plan, each director who is
not already an officer or other employee of the Company will receive options to
purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock on each August 1st during the term of the
Plan. The exercise price of all such options is equal to the stock's fair
market value on such date.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In December 1991, the Company entered into a lease for its facilities in
Melville, New York with a partnership controlled by the Company's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. The lease, as amended, provides for the Company's
exclusive use of the premises as they now exist for an initial term of ten
years. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for an
additional ten-year period, and a right of first refusal in the event of a sale
of the facility. The annual rental under the lease ($403,000 in fiscal 1995) is
subject to adjustments.
-7-
<PAGE>
In September 1988, the Company sold and simultaneously leased back its St.
Cloud, Florida facility for $600,000. The buyer/lessor is a partnership in
which J. Preston Windus, Jr., Vice President, Secretary and CFO of the Company,
is a general partner. The annual rental under the lease ($177,000 in fiscal
1995) is subject to adjustments.
As part of the terms of his employment and in connection with his
relocation from Arizona, the Company made loans to Mr. Windus during fiscal 1994
and 1995 totaling $120,000. The loans bear interest at the same rate as the
Company earns on its investments and are payable in installments through June
1996.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters to be presented
at the meeting. If other matters do come before the meeting, the persons acting
pursuant to the proxy will vote on them in their discretion.
Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, telegram, and personally by
directors, officers and other employees of the Company. The cost of soliciting
proxies will be borne by the Company.
Certain information regarding the Company's executive officers has been
omitted from this Proxy Statement in accordance with applicable regulations
because such information is set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for fiscal 1995.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, if any, to file with the
securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports of ownership, and reports of
changes in ownership, of equity securities of the Company. Such persons are
also required to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports that they
file. Based solely on such reports and written representations of the Company's
directors and executive officers, the Company believes that during the two
fiscal year period ended July 31, 1995, the Company's executive officers and
directors complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except
that J. Preston Windus, Jr. inadvertently filed his initial report late. Such
late report did not result in any transactions not being reported on a timely
basis.
Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at next year's Annual
Meeting must be received by the Company no later than July 11, 1996 to be
included in the proxy material for such meeting.
