But in order to be legal and operate under Conditional Authorization, applications must be on file with the FCC. The PCN provides no authority to operate.

I know we have had links pass PCN, filed the license, and then had the FCC return it due to minor errors. The link is legal to transmit based on the PCN but the license lags with the FCC.

I'd just give them a holler and let them know that you couldn't find it in the FCC license database and was wondering if it had been coordinated recently. -forrest On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 6:27 PM, Darin Steffl <darin.ste...@mnwifi.com<mailto:darin.ste...@mnwifi.com>> wrote: Hey guys, We've been looking at a new site for the last 12 months now and finally got to climb it last week to do the survey. 9 months ago from the ground, we could see two SAF licensed links up there but upon searching the FCC database, could not identify any licensed links on this site. I figured maybe they were in process and don't show up right away. Anyway, fast forward to today and we climbed and saw the links are 18GHz links and have the company's sticker on there we thought they belonged to. We checked the FCC database and found all their other licensed links and confirmed they're accurate and used their exact spelling and FRN to search all the licensed links and none of them correspond to their two SAF radio on this site that have been installed and running for 9 months now. So to sum up, their other licensed links are registered and correct but the two links on this site do not show up anywhere. What would be the best course of action to see if there's something wrong here? This WISP has not been friendly to us in the past and I just want to make sure their links don't interfere with ours if they're illegally operating in licensed bands.
