Ray,
It’s due to the link in the PNS, for some reason it has a “;” in the URL. The
working url is
https://www.fcc.gov/document/bureaus-announce-freeze-and-limited-filing-window-37-42-ghz-band

This PNS was just announced:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/notification/pns18-16fccgalaxy28.htm
The PNS also discusses the Satellite ingest/receipt of NOAA Weather Wire.
A friend who is into HAM radio was telling me if one receives any form of RF
communications (i.e. NOT just a satellite ingest), one should register their
site with the FCC to protect them. The protection comes into play if later
another entity starts broadcasting and causing interference on your RF
reception, there is recourse for you via the FCC and the entity has to stop
causing interference issues on your RF reception at their cost. If one doesn't
register, then the FCC can't force the entity to stop causing interference and
one has to figure out how to resolve the interference themselves at their own
cost.

I know when I was at Unisys, we had to go through a rigorous ground survey for
terrestrial interference to see whether a dish could receive the NOAAPort
signal. It's best to do that before spending the $10K to install the dish and
finding out it was useless. I know after installing a dish on the roof of CMC
in Montreal, a nearby ground based telephone relay was 10 times the signal
strength of NOAAPort. No matter what we did, we couldn't filter out that
signal. Luckily for CMC, they had a dish in their parking lot pointed at the
same satellite and we were able to use that. The CMC building essentially
shielded the telephone relay signal. I don't remember why that signal wasn't
captured by the ground survey.
It sounds to me like the FCC wants to open up more of that frequency space to
land based communications. Not knowing where receive stations are means
someone could request to the FCC to place a transmitter in your neighborhood
and thus making your NOAAPort receiver unusable. So this sounds like an
insurance policy for your dish. It says you're not required to register. But
if you don't, TI problems might pop up in the future.
My 10 cents.
Dan.

Has anyone done this yet? It’s a long, nasty form and requires you to pay $435
for the privilege of filing with the FCC! Really?? This should have been
stopped in its tracks by the NWS before it got to this point.

FYI, I believe the following is from the National Weather Association:
Do you have a NOAAPort Dish? Is it Registered?
The FCC is looking at the possibility of using the 3.7–4.2 GHz band, currently
used for NOAAPort transmissions, for a broader range of services including
wireless broadband.Receive-only Fixed-satellite Service (FSS) and Fixed Service
(FS) sites are not required to register with the FCC. For this reason, it is
unknown how many existing sites are receiving data using this frequency.
Without this information, it is difficult to assess the impacts of expanding
services in the 3.7–4.2 GHz frequency band.To understand the current landscape,
the International Bureau opened a 90-day filing window for applications to
license or register existing earth stations in the 3.7–4.2 GHz band. Stations
that were constructed and operational as of April 19, 2018, may file. The
filing window closes on July 18, 2018. Applicants must file electronically
through IBFS on FCC Form 312 Main Form and Form 312 Schedule B, remit the
statutory application filing fee, and provide any additional information
required by applicable rules. See the last few paragraphs of the notice (linked
below) for details.Using IBFS link under FILE contains site instructions. The
red box indicates the link to create the FRN.The Bureau also placed a temporary
freeze on applications for new or modified FSS earth stations and fixed
microwave stations in this band.For our NWS members, please note that the NWS
is in the process of registering their antennas.More information is contained
in the FCC Public Notice DA-18-398.
