And as Tim mentioned earlier it depends on if you are modifying a site
or getting a new license.
Also if multiple links use the same site you only pay one fee.
I've never seen a coordinator offer a discount for a number of licenses
in bulk at once. If you were constantly doing a lot of links though I'm
sure they would sharpen the pencil so to speak.

Ken, thanks for the heads up on the FCC cost being per site and not
per path, that is valuable information.

It’s not clear that 25 links is less than 25 times the work of 1

There are also intangibles, like how hard do they work to get all
the links in one sub-band to help you keep down the number of
spares you need to stock. And to optimize the parameters like
VPOL vs HPOL (I think VPOL is supposed to have less rain fade),
and ACAP vs ACCP vs CCDP/XPIC. I’d like to think even if they
discounted the price they would still spend just as much time
trying to optimize the parameters for me, but time is money.

I did coordination for 25 links at once. I didn't think to ask
for a discount.

FCC fees will be per site, less for modifications than new.
If you’re going to license a bunch of paths into the same
site, send all the applications together, the FCC price is the
same for 10 paths into a site as for 1, but if you come back
later, you’ll have to pay for a modification.
I’ve never done 7 at once, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask if
they will discount the price a little.

What is going rate for 11ghz freq coordination service? I had
a quote to do 7 links and then on top of their fees there was
FCC filing fees. Thought it was kind of high.

One call sign as long as you keep all your gear within 1
arcsecond of
what the coords on the license are.
