The year our fcc license was allowed to lapse.

Most people in the county don’t know this, which I am sure was intentional, but the county failed to renew it’s broadcasting license with the FCC for operation of it’s emergency services station in 2018. We have all the details downloaded directly from the FCC site, and yes there was a period of at least two weeks in december of that year when the county was operating a radio station without property licensing. Fortunately, the county was not penalized for this violation, and an extension was filed in order to request more time to submit a proper application for renewal. Would anyone like to guess who was in charge of making sure the license was renewed? It was the county Fire Chief, whose name is on the licensing.
Keep in mind, this was before the months the Fire Chief took off from work in order to renovate the house he had yet to purchase.
This information is publicly accessible and can be looked up on the FCC website, and once we find the link we will be sure to add it here. Just in case anyone doubts us.
