Changelog

On February 24, 2021 (JST), the Japan Meterological Agency (JMA) discontinued their former website design, which rendered our earthquake result monitoring from the JMA unoperational.  This also impacted our ability to monitor for tsunami.  It did not directly impact our Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) functionality.

REPORT

J1 Radio was airing incorrect weather reports for Japan.  Mainly, the same report repeating every hour.

ROOT CAUSE

The Japan Meterological Agency (JMA) did a complete overhaul to their website and our systems no longer able to scrape the data. 

RESOLUTION

REPORT:

FCCdata: Application history for US FCC facilities appearing on desktop but not on mobile. 

ROOT CAUSE:

FCCdata

Changes the source for the header to LMS for all facilities, not just those that were started in LMS (facility ID > 700000).   The CDBS header will no longer be used.

AM facilities now show frequency in the (LMS) header.

Changed LMS facility status from all-caps (as shown in the LMS raw data) to mixed case.

With assignment and transfer application types now moving from CDBS to LMS, we will start the process to change facility header and party (names and address of licensee) data from CDBS to LMS raw data.  Throughout the holiday weekend, the changes may impact the availability of the following pages at times:

We are experiencing an ongoing problem with party information displaying in REC systems. Party information includes licensee names, addresses, etc. This is a FCC issue with their CDBS raw data. REC will eventually be moving this data source from CDBS to LMS.

1/15/21 20:00 EST-------------------------

Temporary fix placed in FCCdata to default to LMS data source to restore licensee name and address in header.  Some functionality, including station logos and AM frequency display in header will not work during the temporary fix.

The FCC sent a blank CDBS party file in last night's load. As a result, names of owners as well as potentially other information are not displaying in FCCdata and some other tools. No ETU.

--RESOLVED 12/29/20 13:29

Restored back-up party file from previous day.
