The quickest way to get help with this process is to fill out our online frequency finder right over there on the right side of this page. It will tell you if spectrum is likely to be available in your area, walk you through a few more of the selection criteria, and put you in direct contact with a team of professionals ready to guide and support you through the application process.

GetRadio.org can offer some advice on the application process, but we are not allocations engineers or lawyers. In many cases, our team can recommend engineers and lawyers who will work with you. Their time is expensive, and we can save you some money by helping determine what professional assistance you really need.

Drop us an email to see how we can be of help. We will guide you and direct you towards the assistance you need.
