IaRC Coordinator’s Status Update

Here is the latest status of coordination as provided by Paul, WØYR.

14 repeaters fully coordinated

6 repeaters coordinated but waiting on pending approval from adjacent states

4 additional coordination requests processed (pending requester response for more information, frequency selection, or further action)

5 repeaters de-coordinated as per IaRC rules

54 other updates to the IaRC coordination database

All outstanding coordination records from 2018 and 2019 scanned into the coordination database on a per-repeater basis

All annual renewals from 2015, 2016, and 2017 are also now digitized into annual archives (thanks to NØVPR for his work scanning these documents)

 

At this point in time, ALL outstanding mail, paperwork, emails, etc have been opened and reviewed.  If you believe you have a pending application or action with the Iowa Repeater Council and have not heard from me yet, please contact me directly so we can develop a plan of action.  Email (coordinator@iowarepeater.org) is the preferred method of communication.

 

By now, you should have heard about our first-ever IaRC “Hamfest Helpdesk” at the SE Iowa Hamfest/Iowa State Convention coming up in West Liberty a little over a week from now.  Myself and a majority of the IaRC board will be in attendance.  I will be staffing a “Helpdesk” and will have the current coordination database as well as all of my tools and all current applications with me.  This is an opportunity for you to check on the status of current or pending applications, start a new coordination application, review and update your repeater information, or any other similar activity.  I hope to see many of you there.

 

The next Iowa Repeater Council Directory will be published prior to the SE Iowa Hamfest.  Printed copies will be available at the Hamfest, and PDF copies will be published on the IaRC website

In closing (and in the spirit of complete transparency) following are the current open items with me.

 

I have the following coordination applications in my workflow that currently require NO action by the applicant (but may as coordinations are completed):
