C1.0dB might mean dB relative to carrier; I've never seen this before; it's usually 1.0 dBc.

dBW is dB relative to 1 Watt.

Nominal 58-60dBW means exactly what it says: the nominal EIRP is in the range of 58 to 60 dBW.

Thanks Barry,
Why there are two ranges ? first one is Min - Max and the second one is Nominal range ? Why they did not mention the Min - Max range ? what does it mean "Nominal"
Thanks

Nominal in this case means (and you could look this up yourself in a dictionary, you know) "being according to plan". In other words, the expected value under normal circumstances.

Minimum and maximum are just that: limits. It's like saying a component will operate with a NOMINAL supply voltage of 4.9 to 5.1 volts with a MAXIMUM (allowed) of 6 volts and a MINIMUM(allowed) of 4 Volts.
