Third Report And Order
10 November 2025
The
FCC has issued it's Third Report and Order on the 2 GHz reallocation
and realignment.
This is important reading! Read or download the
pdf version from the FCC:

New
Rules for Fixed Links
(from http://sbe.org/StayDenied.htm)
The
six-month stay of new coordination rules expired on October 15. On
October 16, the FCC issued a denial of SBE's request to extend that
stay by another six months to give broadcasters more time to update
their incomplete or erroneous license records in the Universal
Licensing System (ULS). At the present time, applications for new
licenses or major modifications to licenses in the Aural BAS band
above 944 MHz, and the TV BAS bands above 2450 MHz (fixed services
only) require a Supplemental Showing demonstrating compliance with
the new notification requirement. However, applications filed solely
for the purpose of adding missing information (such as receive site
data) do not require frequency coordination and can still be filed
without the Supplemental Showing. (Such filings do, however, require
a filing fee of $120 per license, except for fee-exempt entities.)
Part 74 licensees are therefore encouraged to proceed with such
filings in the interest of making the ULS database more complete and
accurate. For further details, you can read the FCC orders using the
links below.

Coordinating
Part 74 Fixed Microwave Links in Georgia
First,
please read the SBE
Policy Regarding "Fixed-Link" Frequency Coordination.
The
Atlanta volunteer coordinators cannot provide the PCN services now
required for coordination of Part 74 microwave fixed links. It is up
to each licensee to ensure they have met the PCN requirements. The
FCC maintains an online List
of Microwave Frequency Coordinators who can provide this
service. Keep in mind that these are commercial entities � you
will be charged for their services.
No,
the SBE and your local volunteer coordinators cannot recommend
specific commercial frequency coordinators.
Broadcast
Auxiliary Frequency
Coordination is a service of:
SBE
Peach State Chapter 5
The
SBE Atlanta Frequency Coordination web page and mailing list are
hosted, at no cost to the Chapter, by
the Webmaster, Andy Funk, as part of his personal
web site.
Should
you need web hosting and/or email accounts I highly recommend the
service I use, Lunar
