Anytime you get the FCC involved, you will get the FCC involved – in your life
too.

I'd try contacting them before I did anything else, it's a lot more likely that
they just screwed up the licensing (or completely forgot to file it) than that
they're intentionally running illegally. If it turns out that they did just
throw the links up and not bother to license them, then it might teach them a
good lesson to get the FCC involved...

Don’t try to cause trouble at the FCC. You will regret it.

I'd guess that it might be one they just forgot to submit the license for
after a PCN.
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.

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. Thank you
