[SBE] 700 MHz wireless question

[jer hill]

Mic sellers neglected to tell the churches that they need to get a part 74
license that they probably don't qualify for. No church would willingly
break the law, in my experience, however, the first $10,000 FCC fine to a
church would be a real eye opener to the elders and deacons.

How has the word been spread?  I can't imagine that every church has been
notified.  Word did spread rapidly through our industry, but then again that
is our business.  I have a feeling if you surveyed churches across the
country that only a very low percentage, probably just a fraction of a
percent, would know about this issue, and even a smaller number of those
would realize that it actually does affect them.  Just replacing their
microphones is going to be a financial hardship for many churches,
especially in these economic times when giving is way down.

So far, there hasn't been any interference issues right now, except for one
client downtown DC.  My concern is they hold out and then all get slammed.

Ray is absolutely correct.  Those local government and church entities are
amazingly efficient at complaining when you cause interference to them.  We
should police our assigned channels with equal vigilance.

Of course they do understand they are not  authorized to operate on TV
channels and could be fined $10,000? This includes local governments. Look
at the Part 90 fines that local government entities get.

I recommend they move as soon as possible. One complaint and they will be in
a difficult position.

I've got some local gov't and church clients that have a lot of 700 MHz
wireless mic systems, one church is less than 500 yards from a firestation.
I read the article in the Signal about the changeover, but how tight is the
enforcement going to be?  Do I need to start pushing them all towards new
gear now?  I've mentioned the issue to some, but they don't seem to be too
receptive (pun intended).
