I talked to Liz about abandoned HFT licenses... never had time to follow up. They do have 30 days from ceasing transmission to cancel their license.

I’m not sure the FCC would ever notice the conflict, they rely on the PCN process. It would also be interesting to run by your coordinator if there is a process to get a zombie license cancelled when the licensee no longer exists to file the cancellation.

Isn't the owner supposed to cancel these? I've emailed the POC to see what they say.
