By request, here were the last of the ZIP files that REC received from the FCC:

CDBS All Files - as of close of business 09/27/2013:

Antenna Structure Registration File:

ULS Ship station database (We use this to determine reserved maritime callsigns)

Due to the shutdown of the Federal Government, the FCC has taken some systems that are used by REC offline under the directive that only services related to immediate life and property remain available.

For myLPFM, this means that we are no longer able to provide HAAT (height above average terrain) data.  For now, myLPFM will be giving strange results on the coverage area map and if antenna site details are entered, there will be errors.  

For Premium Channel Search customers who are still awaiting reports, we will be contacting you once we get the details of what we can and can't do without the FCC resources available to us.  Each of you will be contacted via e-mail individually. 

During the Government Shutdown, REC services will still continue to function.  Database updates have been disabled until the resumption of government business.  Industry Canada updates will continue to take place on Sundays.

It is our belief that all FCC web services including CDBS will remain available for LPFM applicants to stage their applications.

Our LPFM search tools do have a dependence on the FCC's HAAT web service being operational.  As long as that service remains operational, myLPFM will function normally.  As of noon EDT on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, all FCC web services have been taken out of service.  This will impact not just myLPFM but your ability to "stage" applications in CDBS.

With the possibility of a government shutdown looming on us, especially with an upcoming filing window, there are already concerns on how the FCC is going to handle things during and right after the government shutdown (if one takes place).

During the government shutdown all Media Bureau personnel will be furloughed with the exception of one leadership role that will be on-call. 

It is our understanding that CDBS will continue to be functional during the shutdown however it is unknown whether applications will be able to be filed.    There will be on-call contractors to address IT issues with FCC systems.

REC is doing a "rolling" release of myLPFM, which means that we are developing the changes live.  This means that there will be times when you may see some strange results.  If you see anything real strange, please feel free to let us know about it. 

This will likely be the last major release of myLPFM prior to the October 15 filing window that impacts searching (myLPFM Search).   Overall, myLPFM is a complete platform of LPFM support applications that tracks pending applications and provide LPFM licensees with ongoing assistance.  This functionality is already built.  A free myLPFM username and password is required to access these functions.
