Legally it cannot go on air until the license is granted. Since this is a recent application, I would anticipate a couple of months before it is granted.

Well that's what I get for living on 7/800Mhz Part 90 for too long! Thanks for pointing that out, very interesting that you can go on air for testing and operation for up to 6 months on V/U (and part of 900) without an STA.

I wish that had applied to 7/800 when I was doing CoH licensing! That would have made my job easier!
