Coordinated Repeater Listings for Oklahoma - January 22, 2012

Sun, 01/22/2012 - 15:53

Repeater information was last updated 22-Jan-2012.

The ORSI board voted to list all coordinations, where a trustee requested non-publication, we will only publish the frequency, city, county, coordination date and update dates. Then show it as a closed access repeater.

This Oklahoma database was published here as of 22-Jan-2012. The database as of Circa 16-Jan-2009 was sent to the ARRL for use in that year's edition of the "Repeater Directory." The ARRL sent the data for the 2009-2010 Repeater Directory to the printer on 30-Jan-2009, any updates received after this date will NOT be published in the 09/10 "RD".

Deadline to get Information Published in 2012-2013 ARRL Repeater Directory is THIS WEEKEND 1/28-29/12

Fri, 01/20/2012 - 23:38

The data "snapshot" for the 2012-2013 ARRL Repeater Directory will be taken around 14:00 Monday 1/30/2012. Any updates received by the coordinator after this Sunday 1/29/12 cannot be published in this edition of the ARRL Repeater Directory, you will have to wait until next year. However, the database on the ORSI web-site is updated about once per month. The ORSI recent news section is updated as new information is received. Remember for your convenience we now have a user-friendly do it yourself coordination update form here on the web.

A general information change request for a single coordinated repeater record to be submitted by the trustee. Refer to coordination guidelines for more information. Your request will be sent to the coordinator, and a copy will be sent to your email address.

ORSI Membership Voted for Mandatory Updates of Frequency Coordination Every Three Years

Thu, 12/08/2011 - 07:35

The problem of "paper" repeaters plagues all frequency coordinators everywhere. We have reviewed the policies of most of the surrounding states. Some require annual renewal, but we decided to be more laid back like our sister society over with our great neighbors to the East, Arkansas. Where they call for triennial renewals. We are going to make this easier than ever. We will still send out update request forms where needed, but as our web-master WD5M announced, we will have a user-friendly on-line do it yourself update form.

Coming December 11, Repeater Information Update Request Web Form

Sat, 12/03/2011 - 17:43

On December 11, look for a new ORSI web form page for repeater sponsor and trustees to submit updates for general information about repeaters. Updates may include CTCSS tone, contact details, web site URL and special feature attributes. The coordinator will review and confirm changes, before applying to the database.

Other details that require changes to coordination, such as location, power, sponsor, etc, will continue to require a coordination form sent to the ORSI coordinator. See the ORSI coordination guidelines. The new web form will only provide updates for general repeater details, that do not require coordination review.

Hard Copy Coordination Certificates Available for Those that Updated in 2010 or 2011

Thu, 12/01/2011 - 00:44

Your coordinator printed out Official ORSI coordination certificates on high quality paper. If you want yours and don't want it folded or mutilated, please send a self addressed envelope with return postage affixed. I will be happy to send them to you. I will also bring them with me to the spring ORSI meeting in Stillwater and they will be made available at the Green Country Hamfest March 9-10 in Claremore, OK.
