This is a checklist to coordinate a repeater in Iowa

Collect the Five data points needed for the coordination form:

• Ownership (you or your club)
• Frequency (or band. You can enter a preferred frequency, or band segment, but at least enter the band)
• Location (in latitude/longitude, degrees, minutes, seconds) See hints on determining lat/long
• Height Above Average Terrain ( See HAAT worksheet and tips on HAAT ).
• Effective Radiated Power (See ERP Worksheet pdf ).

Once the data is collected (and double checked):

1. Fill out the coordination form.
2. Send it to the coordinator (See address on the form.)
3. Coordinator will send you a list of available frequencies
4. You select a frequency from the list, returning that choice to the coordinator.
5. Coordinator sends coordination request to coordinators in all adjacent states.  The adjacent state coordinators have 30 days to comment prior to coordination.
6. If no objections from other coordinators, coordinator sends you the confirmation of coordination.
