OK, guys,
What we have here is the PUBLIC NOTICE listings of who has what communications stations licensees, as required by law.
The Federal Communications Commission is the regulatory body for the United States of America for all communications matters, private, public, commercial or non-commercial, wired or wireless.
File Number and Action Date are self explanatory. I took these items out of the sample for column width reasons.
The Call Sign is the Station Identification assigned by the FCC upon granting the license.
The Applicant Name is the owner of the radio station or equipment. (I abbreviated it so that the line would not wrap over onto the next line.)
The Purpose code, RO, indicates Renewal Only.
The Action code, G, indicates that the license renewal was Granted.
These are RADIO SERVICES, as allowed by law for the furtherance of any
business. Note that other business's use these, also. Neither Georgia Power nor Pacific Bell are microwave businesses. Both are utilities; one is a power utility and the other is a telephone service provider. PacBell does lots of microwave 'common carrier' communications, however.
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau refers to an agency that regulates wireless communications of a radiotelephone nature. These communications are over the 'airwaves' and not by conducted cable or waveguide.
Site-By-Site Action refers to the type of report this is, one listing hundreds of radio site applications, nationwide.
In short, some WTS office somewhere, has some trucks with radios, probably for dispatcher to delivery personnel communications. No great shakes, here.
I personally have held a FCC General Class Commercial Radiotelephone Operators License (originally a '2nd Phone' ticket) and have operated a Radio Repair business working on microwave radios under contract to a major telephone company.
