*** NEW! ***

As of 09-07-07, the ARC Database has been published on the website.
This is a 'preliminary' posting and NOT the FINAL product!
OWNERS/TRUSTEES please check these listings and take note of the date of
the last UPDATE received. If it is not after Jan. 1, 2006, please send an IMMEDIATE UPDATE.

The COORDINATION/UPDATE form can be found on the MAIN page of this
website. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.     Bob, W5LVB

******************************************************************************************

At the Annual ARC Membership Meeting on September 16th, 2006, the Membership / Board voted to REQUIRE MANDATORY UPDATES of ALL systems, every (3) years.
The breakdown is as follows... Any UPDATES are due, to the Coordinator, by December 1st of each year.
This will allow time to process the information and have it ready to upload to the ARRL for publication in the ARRL Repeater Directory.
Any UPDATES NOT received before December 1st, will NOT be published on the website or in the ARRL RD.
ALL SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO UPDATE IN 2007! YES, ALL SYSTEMS!
*Any systems NOT updated before December 31st, 2007, will be DROPPED from the ACTIVE database, NOT published on the website or in the ARRL RD and will be considered DE-COORDINATED.*
This will be the start of the (3) year rotation. The next MANDATORY UPDATE will be in 2010.

THE ACTIVE DATABASE WILL BEGIN BEING PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE
AFTER DECEMBER 1st, 2006.

This will allow the OWNERS / TRUSTEES / SPONSORS to see what has been updated and if the information is correct for publication in the ARRL RD.

* I have decided to give a (1) year reprieve to those systems NOT yet updated. BUT, if there are ANY systems NOT updated by December 31, 2008, they will be deleted from the ACTIVE/COORDINATED listing and those frequencies placed in the 'available' POOL for possible re-assignment to NEW applicants.
LAST WARNING!!!
I will be sending out a letter to ALL known CURRENT and PAST owner/trustees in an attempt to notify those that may be 'out of the loop' or just don't monitor the various websites where notices have been posted.
If you have sent an UPDATE in '06/'07/'08, THANK YOU! You may refrain from answering this letter, unless there have been applicable 'changes' in your system's operational parameters since your last update.

At the Quarterly ARC Board Meeting on Jan. 8th, 2005, the Board voted to publish the Repeater Database online. To start, only those repeater systems NOT heard from during the last 'update', will be listed. This will help find those remaining 'paper' repeaters and get the database as close to accurate as possible.

If you see a system listed and are the SPONSOR or TRUSTEE of that system, you are requested to file an update with the Coordinator as soon as possible. If you see a system listed and know the system is OFF or was NEVER implemented, please pass that information to the Coordinator.

There may be a few systems listed that turned in updates in the last 2 years, but for whatever reason didn't get the update entered yet. For this we apologize, but request you turn in another update. ALL updates should use the ARC form and be filled out COMPLETELY! Forms with "no changes" WILL NOT be accepted.

Also, please be sure to include a GOOD e-mail address for either the SPONSOR or TRUSTEE. This will help the Coordinator, in case contact is needed to verify any information on the forms.
