REC Substack

Things you need to know about what is coming up, what this is for and how REC will be handling this.

REC does not outright oppose a 250 or 500 mile move, however there must be safeguards put in place to protect LPFM stations and to prevent speculation.

REC's ex parte letter to OET resulted in the Office adding a weak clarification that existing "46/49" cordless phones can continue to be used, despite the deletion of the rule allowing them.

We know it is tough for LPFM, but "startup organizations" were never the original intention of the educational radio service. Therefore, LPFMs have many more challenges and must do so within the law.

The "Direct Final Rule" process needs to be used for "cleaning" the CFR of rules regarding obsolete technologies, not take away the frequency and/or power privileges of devices that are not obsolete.

This is hopefully our last notification for FCC post-shutdown resumption of operations.

We are still waiting on a deadline for LMS.

LMS to remain down for an extended period of time. No news yet on any further extension of filing deadlines.

ETRS Form One can now be filed and you have a week to do it.

Filing deadline of Tuesday, November 18, 2025 is set for filings due during the shutdown and next Monday.
