2/8 Question for our local radio experts. How do I find out who's
broadcasting a signal at a certain frequency? I looked at the FCC
frequency allocation at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/spectrum and it is not very
helpful. Is there a number I can call? The offending signal is a
really high power tone at around 463.6 MHz, and what makes it annoying
is that it comes and goes totally randomly. If I could talk to whoever
is making the signal, maybe I could find out when they turn the damn
thing off(it turns off just often enough to make it really hard to
characterize.) Thanks.
\_ I solved my own problem. If anyone cares, it's this search page:
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp and
if you click on "advanced license search", and you can search
by both frequency range and physical location. I'm pretty
sure I've found the culprit. -op
\_ Who was it???
\_ Physical plant of the university where our lab is. I can
literally see the damn antennas out the window.
\_ If they have a license, does that mean they can legally
transmit at that frequency? Maybe you are the one who
shouldn't be using that frequency?
\_ Of course they can, and I'm not transmitting. I'm
just *measuring* in that band. Obviously I'm not
going to get physical plant to just stop using
their system, but just knowing that there's no
way to turn it off is usefull information to me.
\_ How 'bout filing a complaint with the fcc? they would have a lot
more resources to find it. |

OET) provides advice on technical and po licy issues pertaining to spectrum allocation and use. OET also maintain s the FCC's Table of Frequency Allocations. The FCC's Table of Frequency Allocations consists of the International Table of Frequency Allocation s ("International Table") and the United States Table of Frequency Alloc ations ("United States Table"). The FCC's Table of Frequency Allocations is codified at Section 2106 of the Commission's Rules. Note: The print edition of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations is revised yearly to include all final rules that amended the Table of F requency Allocations and that were published in the Federal Register pri or to October 1st. By contrast, the Commission regularly updates its On line Table of Frequency Allocations shortly after a final rule has been released. FCC Online Table (11/9/04) Each Commission document that proposes to amend or that amends the Table of Frequency Allocations and its associated news release is available fo r downloading in the FCC Allocation History File. The History File cont ains the complete citation for each document, including information conc erning its publication in the Federal Register and in the FCC Record. T he History File also contains the changes to the Table. If a box (which represents a frequency band) is revised, then the changes are fully exp lained in the History File.
