Mike: I have had occasion to request waivers several times, with about 75% success in getting them granted. I agree with Mark's remarks: if the request is reasonable, and within the regulations (or, more specifically, not outside them) the FCC will usually act favorably. On some waiver requests, the use of a Washington attorney specializing in dealings with the FCC has been very helpful, and worth the cost. I used Ray Kowalski, of Keller & Heckman. His phone number is 202 434 4230, email is [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . Regards, Jack Jacob Z. Schanker, P.E.

Contrary to popular belief, the folks at the FCC are not hard-liners. Some things are very clear (and therefore you have to comply), but others are not. You may be better off utilizing the services of someone who speaks the lingo (after all, this is law). I've heard there are a few legal firms which interface with the FCC (but don't know any names). Good luck. Regards, Mark Gill, P.E.

If so, what approach did you take and what methods did you use?
