C-Band Antenna Status Confirmation Deadline Feb. 16

Operators of some incumbent fixed satellite service C-band earth station antennas have until Feb. 16 to provide notice of their operational status in the 3.7 GHz band or else lose their incumbent status, said an International Bureau public notice Friday. They also could have their authorizations for those frequencies terminated, it said. In question are C-band antennas listed in the FCC's International Bureau filing system as active but reported to the C-band relocation coordinator as not currently receiving C-band satellite service, it said. Along with the PN, the bureau released a list of several dozen antennas falling into that category.
