RE: [Repeater-Builder] Question for the group

[Paul Finch]

I still can't find my "General" radiotelephone license!  I wonder if it was cancelled!  I kept it up for the whole time until it was ported over to the General class useless thing, I would like to know it's still there.  I also though it had been converted to lifetime!   Paul -----Original Message----- From: Marvin K.

Use "last name, first name" on the search.

Approximately equivalent to the old 2nd Class license, the GROL is only needed for aviation, marine, and international public fixed stations. These days, one does not need any license to work as a tech at a broadcast station, radio or TV. The FCC put the responsibility for proper operation of a station's transmitter in the hands of the station licensee, and leaves it up to them to hire competent techs. This was part of deregulation back during the Reagan Administration. I'm not aware of any database for commercial licensees, but if there is one, I'd guess either the FCC, NARTE, ISCET or NRE might likely post it on the web. Hope this helps. 73, Russ WB8ZCC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank or Barb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "List Server repeater-builder" <repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 1:18 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Question for the group I have a neighbor who works for a cellular carrier, and had the old FCC First Class Radio Telephone license. First question, is that license still required for techs at tv and radio stations or did the FCC drop the requirement? Is there a place on the web to search a license database? They are not listed in the ULS web site. Thanks N3FLR - Frank Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
