Due to the uncertainty of the reopening of the government and the eventual rescheduling of the LPFM filing window, REC is accepting "show of interest" for services. 

If your organization has been wanting to use the services of the REC LPFM Premium Channel Search but thought you have missed out, this may be a second chance opportunity.  

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. 

As a result of the Government Shutdown, REC has released a standalone version of our Field Strength Curves calculator.  This tool uses the same functions that determine field strength curves in myLPFM.  

The tool is not perfect and has a margin of error of approximately 500 meters.  While not suitable for filings, it is very suitable to use for estimates while the FCC Curves tool is not available.

If you are good with FORTRAN and PHP and are willing to help us make this tool even better, please let us know!

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. 

REC has launched a new tower finder tool that accesses FCC Antenna Structure Registration data as well as the data of various tower leasing companies to inquire for antennas by Antenna Structure Registration Number, vendor tower/asset ID and all towers within a radius of a particular geographic coordinate.
