Update - June 18, 2025 12:35PM EDT

While there are items that are appearing in the Daily Business section of FCC.today, the links may point to the FCC's EDOCS page with a message "The document you requested is not yet available in this system." or in some cases, may point to a very old document.  We are aware of this.

Recently, REC has been experiencing extremely slow response on all System40 hosted sites across the REC Universe. 

We have traced the issue to the Drupal content management system (CMS) software that we use to drive the content front end on recnet.com and fmtranslator.com.  The excessive caching that is performed by Drupal has substantially impacted database performance.

To attempt to resolve this issue, we will be migrating recnet.com and fmtranslator.com to a separate VPS server with an SSD solely for the purpose of providing the content on these sites.

Updated the eLMS database and parse rules to accommodate 11 new fields as a result of the Commission updating Form 2100-335-FM to support asymmetric digital audio broadcasting (HD Radio).  

Digital notifications are handled by eLMS using the dig flow.  No new application type codes were added in this update. 

Live testing was successful.

Due to many issues, REC had been behind on updating the Enforcement Actions (Dingers) database.  

The Dingers database has been now updated adding actions from May 2024 to April 31, 2025.  Dingers is back to being actively updated on a daily basis.

We are addressing the trouble reports received regarding myLPFM with the migration to System40.

We have fixed the issue where users were unable to upload images for RadioDNS.   

We have fixed the issue where users were unable to upload logos using the "upload logo" function.  Once uploaded, the logo may first show as either the previous one or a broken link.  Clicking to a different screen should show the newly uploaded logo.  This upload will also revise the logo in FCCdata and LPFM.ws 

FCCdata - AM engineering fix

Fixed an issue where FCC AM records were showing in the engineering section (left side) but no facility details were shown when the item was clicked.  This was an issue associated with the recent retirement of CDBS. Records were not properly routing to the legacy BAPS data.   This involved making changes to the underlying eLMS AM application list table to remove the references to application IDs assigned by LMS but contain no engineering data.

With the retirement of the FCC's CDBS Public Access website on January 2, 2025, REC has built a website that will replace CDBS Public Access on our own server.

The CDBS Historic Search tool has a similar look and feel to the FCC's retired tool and will include many of the features that the FCC tool had.  

CDBS Historic View will only include applications and records that are in the CDBS data and is not a tool recommended to view information on current broadcast facilities that are now being handled through LMS.  

REC has taken our efforts in the various projects over the past two weeks and is making them available free of charge to database developers.  REC is making the following internal database tables available for download as open data:
