[BC] CP extension form

[RSTYPE at aol.com]

Scott:
 
As long as the CP is for a minor change, it should be possible to file for  
another one specifying the exact same facilities as long as nothing in the  
allocation picture has changed.  You just need to time things carefully to  
make sure another station doesn't have an opportunity to get an application 
 which might conflict on file before your filing.  This is a situation 
where  the assistance of a good communications attorney would be invaluable.

Crap.  I was afraid of this.  I was hoping I just couldn't  find the form.  
I
have a client who is an institute of higher learning  that has a CP that
expires on 06/20/2010.  They are just now getting  around to debating about
putting the new antenna and transmitter out for  bids instead of taking my
recommendations of ERI and Nautel.   Interdepartmental squabbles about
swapping out the old  antenna...uugh.  I guess I'm gonna need to light a 
fire
under  them.  It's gonna be a shame if red tape and bureaucracy causes us  
to
lose this CP, it's a power increase of over 3000%!
