                 RE:         Diversified Communication Engineening, Inc.
                             FCC Form 405 — Application for Renewal of Experimental License
                             Call Sign: WA2ZXMY — King Ranch, Texas

     Dear Mr. Marrangoni:

            Submitted for filing, on behalf of Diversified Communication Engineering, Inc.
     ("DCE"), is an original and one copy of an FCC Form 405, Application for Renewal of
     DCE‘s referenced experimental license. The requisite $45.00 filing fee is attached.

             DCE notes that its experimental license expires today, January 8, 1998. DCE
     recognizes that Section 5.55(d) of the Commussion‘s rules specifies that renewal applications
     shall be filed sixty days prior to the expiration date. However, strict application of that rule
     would be inequitable in DCE‘s situation. As the Experimental Licensing Branch is aware,
     DCE originally requested a two year experimental license period. After negotiations with
     Commission staff, the time frame requested was modified to six months, and its license was
     issued for six months. DCE conducted initial testing at the King Ranch test location the week
     of October 6, 1997, and is simultaneously submitting its Progress Report detailing its test
     results. To the extent necessary, DCE requests waiver of Section 5.55(d). Waiver is justified

      69871.1

    in this situation given the limited six month license period originally granted to DCE and the
    significant progress made by DCE in that short time frame. In addition, the sixty day renewal
    application window closed shortly after the experiment had been concluded and the need for
    further testing determined.

           Finally, DCE also notes that it is submitting a facsimile signature on this Form 405.
    The original signature will be filed with the Commission tomorrow, Friday, January 9, 1998.
    To the extent necessary, DCE also respectfully requests a waiver of Section 5.53(f) of the
    Commission‘s rules.


           Please contact Carmen A. Tawil at DCE at (512) 478——3400, or the undersigned
    counsel if you have any questions regarding this renewal application.

                                               Very truly yours,




                                               TouezPorog
