[BC] And one more thing (The Govvmint gonna getcha)

[Tom Taggart]

Dedicated readers of the Daily Digest will have already spotted this, but  
we have a six month retrieve to find out how screwed up the WTB database  
is.  After that they will be taking the wrong names and kicking the  
wrong...
See first:

http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Digest/2005/dd050525.html

wherein about two-thirds down the page  ("WTB POSTPONES UNTIL FALL 2005")  
you will find a notice that the ULS database in the fall will  
automatically terminate "unbuilt"  c.p.'s such as for stl's etc, that  
haven't had a 601 filed to confirm they've been built.  This link takes  
you to a database that supposedly shows which permits you have that the  
system thinks are unbuilt:

http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp

Go down to the link at the bottom right under specialized searches for  
"Buildout deadline" which brings up the data entry screen by call sign,  
licensee or FRN.

All my STL's and the ICR for the booster show a license expiration date  
into 2011.  So I assume I am safe, the other search didn't turn up  
anything.

Of course, it also shows the license for my TV remote pickup expired in  
2003....
Darn, even if I can find it I can't turn it on.  Too bad I've never had a  
TV station.
