An OARC application for coordination is fi lled out completely and mailed to the OARC Secretary. An application can be obtained from the Secretary or any Coordination Committee member. Any other method of applying will only result in delaying your request, as an application will be mailed to you for completion. 2. The completed application is then sent to the Coordination Committee for processing. The Coordination Chairman and your Area Coordinator will work together to identify an acceptable frequency pair based on the input provided by the applicant and a study of possible available pairs. If no acceptable frequency can be identifi ed, the application will be rejected. The OARC MAY require the use of full PL encode/decode during your On Air Test period. In such cases, the OARC will assign a PL tone frequency based on the coordination area in which your repeater is located. The OARC currently separates new co-channel repeaters by approximately 100 miles from existing Ohio and out- of-state repeater systems. Recommended adjacent channel separation is 35 miles below 20 KHz, or as close as 0-5 miles at 25 KHz or greater. 3. A ‘Proposed Frequency Assignment’ letter is issued to the applicant and the frequency pair is put on hold for a period of 6 months to allow for construction. Neighboring state coordinators, as well as co-channel (and sometimes adjacent channel) system Trustees, if within the separation guidelines, will be notifi ed of the pending assignment. After a 30 day objection period, you can put your system on the air. If the repeater system is not on the air within the 6 month ‘hold’ period, the assignment is withdrawn. A short extension period may be granted, if requested in writing to the OARC Secretary stating the reason for the extension. ... YOU ARE NOT COORDINATED YET. 4. When your system goes on the air, you must notify the OARC Secretary in writing. The OARC Coordination Chairman will then issue an ‘On the Air’ notice. All parties informed in paragraph (3) above will also be notifi ed of your on-the-air status. Your testing period now begins and lasts 90 days. During this time, adjustments may be required to your profi le to minimize problems with other systems. Letters of concern will be accepted by the OARC Secretary during this period if interference exists. If interference cannot be resolved, a profi le modifi cation or frequency change may be required. NO COST shall be incurred by the OARC for any required changes. ... YOUR COORDINATION IS PENDING. 5. Your repeater system is required to be on the air and in open carrier mode of operation for at least 2 of the 3 months to have a valid test period, unless noted in ‘conditions of coordination’. If no letters of concern are received by the OARC, or if all concerns are resolved within the test period, a ‘Letter of Coordination’ will be issued to the system Trustee. You will receive two copies. Your coordination does not become valid until the OARC copy is returned to the Secretary. Note: During your test period, your Area Coordinator may conduct an ‘on air verifi cation check’ to evaluate your system. ... YOU ARE NOW COORDINATED. NOTES: The OARC requires notifi cation of all proposed changes of Trustee, system profi le, and/or change in the system location. Changes in system profi le and/or location may require a new test period before coordination is regained. Failure to notify the OARC of the above changes will void your ‘Letter of Coordination’ and affect your coordinated status. Once coordinated, a repeater pair must remain in use. Pairs that are not in use for a period of 6 months due to whatever reason will be recalled and reassigned unless a letter is on fi le with the OARC Secretary requesting the frequency be held. Amateurs knowing of such documented inactive systems are encouraged to notify the OARC Secretary in writing. OARC sends out an annual ‘Statement of Record’ in the fall to all system Trustees. This allows any administrative changes or corrections to be made before the deadline for uploading data to the ARRL for their Repeater Directory. Failure to reply to this mailing for 2 consecutive years may also result in OARC action, and affect your coordinated status. All OARC correspondence should be addressed to: Patrick Hays, N8OOB, OARC Secretary, PO Box 329, Greenfi eld OH 45123-0329 OARC ocp/0400 I Contents OHIO COORDINATION PROCESS ..
