We got a PCN in the next county from us for AT&T that included ALL of the 6, 11 and 18 channels. Government installation. The 14 foot high barbed wired fences have signs saying FEMA. Yea, right “FEMA” nudge-nudge wink-wink.
For fun I was trying to look up what is actually licensed there. Can anyone get the geo search working at the FCC ULS site? I can’t get it to find any links anywhere. What am I doing wrong? http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchGeographic.jsp PC Blaze Broadband From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Prince via Af Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] licensed prior coordination notifications I was floored a couple years ago when I got a PCN with 18 links at one of our POPs by Clearwire. It was a smattering of 6, 11, 18, and 23 GHz. None of it was ever built. -- bp <part {dash} 15 {at} SkylineBroadbandService {dot} com> On 12/15/2014 5:16 PM, Mark Radabaugh via Af wrote: The squatting by the HFT guys is really ticking me off at the moment. I need an additional link on a path and can’t find any working channels in 11Ghz. I’m going to have to replace the existing 11Ghz link with 2 18Ghz links instead of adding a polarization to the existing 11Ghz. It doubles the cost for a path that the HFT guys have been sitting on for at least 2 years.

I see more PCNs than physical links. Abusing the system to call dibs on towers and frequencies. Most of the PCNs I see are actually renewals, that way they can tie up the coordinated path without starting the construction deadline clock ticking.

I just scan them to see if they are in the same county as our stuff (and they usually are not). But I filter them all to a PCN folder so they aren't clogging up my inbox. You get it if (I think) you are within 150 miles on the same frequency with one of your licenses. -- bp <part {dash} 15 {at} SkylineBroadbandService {dot} com> On 12/15/2014 9:57 AM, Chuck McCown via Af wrote: Sorry Tim...Liz and all the other frequency coordinators here. I know it is not your fault. You get a few licensed links up and pretty soon you are inundated with notices. The one time I complained about a link, nothing happened at all. So, as far as I am concerned, they are a welfare plan designed by the federal government to employ postal workers.

What is the criteria for sending these things out? What are we supposed to do with them, are we supposed to run a pth calc to see if it looks like it will cause issues? whos responsible for prior notice if it looks like it might? Is it us or the applicant frequency coordinator? -- All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.
