Apparently there was a window of time where new or renewed licenses got expiration dates out to like 2025. See for example WQVI696. I'm a little unclear on whether all Part 96 equipment becomes illegal this April regardless of whether your NN license expires. Ours was renewed in October 2018 and expires April 2020, so it's moot unless we get an extension. But I know at least one WISP that thinks they have lots of time because their license doesn't expire until 2024.
That's another bizarre feature of how the FCC has handled this. A license acquired or renewed in 2018 expires in 2020, but one acquired in 2015 runs the full 10 years to 2025? That's just random. How can they not grant extensions if some licenses still have 5 years to run? -----Original Message----- From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of David Coudron Sent: Monday, January 27, 2020 10:35 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] FCC 3.5 GHz Spectrum Auction 105 Yes, that is our understanding.
