Our involvement in the evolution of the so-called "white space" device has been since the original ET Docket 02-380 where we had our opinions on these devices.

After careful consideration of the issues, we feel that many of our concerns are still valid. Let me just run through some of these real quick.

Having fun with Blair Alper of the Skyscanner show "Life The Universe and Everything". Hear his whining to music.

First of all, I am really glad the site is now on this format. It's nice being able to blog like this.

I have been reading all of the talk about reallotting Channel 5 and 6 TV spectrum (76-88 MHz) to audio broadcasting. As you may know, REC has spoken in favor of it and we will continue to.

Welcome to the new RECNET.COM website! We have finally taken the direction of using a content management solution. We had decided to use Drupal. In the past, we had tried to use Joomla with some very bad results.

Now with the exception of some fringe content, all of the primary REC content has been moved over here. You will find all of the tools that you are used to using on the blue menu just under the REC logo at the top of the page.

We have added a couple of new interesting things.

Due to major storm on August 28 which brought rain and near hurricane force winds to the Phoenix area as well as subsequent nightly rain, REC services are subject to intermittent interruptions, especially in the mornings due to wet cables.

Qwest has been made aware of the situation but we are currently one of many who are experiencing service issues. REC appreciates your patience while we work to get this problem resolved.
