I think equipment needing an FCC license invokes federal authority, which triggers checking for things like whether the tower needed FAA approval, as well as other things like environmental, historical, native Americans, etc. The FAA approval should probably have been done all along, and I think it’s diligence on the part of the frequency coordinator that finds you needed to submit to the FAA. But part of that process gets an ASR assigned. I don’t know if that happens if you are on a wetland, historical site, Indian burial ground, etc. I was told you can submit for the FCC license once you get the FAA determination, you don’t actually need the ASR number.

I would guess that only about 20% of our locations have ASR’s since the majority are grain legs and water tanks.

Basically it was the way that the FCC managed the tower because they didn’t really have management power over unlicensed frequencies.

A lot of coordinators required them because it makes their job easier, but they weren't required by the FCC.

It only took them 4 months. Not sure what I would have done if they had denied it. We already put up two 18 GHz links off the tower (replacing 5 GHz). -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Lewis Bergman 325-439-0533 Cell -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
