Really not much to report at this time.  We are all still at the mercy of our elected officials to come up with a solution to this current crisis our nation is facing.  

Those organizations that were thinking of filing but did not feel that they were ready should take this time to rethink that and consider whether they want to go ahead. 

If a deal is reached this week in Congress, we will be pushing for a two-week window in November. 

Let's hope that this crisis gets resolved.  Not just for the sake of LPFM, but for the sake of our veterans, our Social Security recipients and our furloughed federal employees and contractors. 

Well as you probably already know, our elected officials are at a standstill over the shutdown and there does not appear to be any hope in sight real soon.  The "Clean CR" that is being recommended by the Democrats and some Republicans is the key to open the government back up for business.  Until the FCC reopens, we are pretty much dead in the water. 

The goverment shutdown is now going into Day 3 with very little progress from our elected officials in Washington.  All government web services that are not directly related to the protection of life an property have been removed from the internet.  This has put a serious hamper on those who are planning to file during what has been the October 15 through October 29, 2013 window. 

In reaction to FCC system availability issues, REC has developed a standalone version of our TOWAIR-like tool. This tool is used to determine if a proposed tower requires FAA notification based on it's location in respect to airports.
