![]() Welcome to the web site of the Arizona Repeater Owners Frequency Coordination Committee a subcommittee of the Amateur Radio Council of Arizona We interface with and cooperate with adjacent state certified coordinators for all near border coordinations.
Applicants must be an Arizona Resident with a valid amateur radio license. The applicant should be familiar with the political, geographical and power considerations involved with coordination to minimize interference as well as having the time to devote to the job. The chairman’s job is to ensure we have knowledgeable, active band coordinators for each band. He can help the band coordinators with any issues. He does not normally handle coordinations. He is the one to settle disputes directly or by a vote of the repeater owners at a repeater owners meeting. Anyone interested in serving as Committee Chairman of the Arizona Repeater Owners Coordination Committee should submit his/her name at or before the winter repeater owners meeting. Submissions may also be made via email to [email protected]. Submission must be received before the winter Repeater Owners Meeting. Those interested in serving must be present at the voting meeting. The vote will be by a show of hands of those repeater owners or their representatives. Representatives must have a letter from the repeater owner designating him as the representative for that repeater. One vote per repeater. The winner will be decided by a simple majority. The above procedure to be approved at the summer repeater owners meeting in Flagstaff on June 20, 2026. The meeting is scheduled for 9:00 am.

The Frequency Coordination Committee of the Amateur Radio Council of Arizona is a group of volunteer amateur radio operators who work to provide coordination services to the amateur radio community in Arizona. Coordination is performed for vhf and uhf frequencies to be used for repeater, digital and point to point operations. This service is available for amateur radio frequencies from 29 MHz and up.
The chairperson of the committee is elected or confirmed by the repeater owners at the bi-annual Hamfest and serves for two years.
The chairperson of the committee then choses the remainder of the coordinators. The FCC gives preference to coordinated repeaters in interference situations (part 97.205), so it is to the advantage of anyone wishing to construct a repeater in the Amateur Radio Service to avail him or herself of the work of the frequency coordination committee serving the area where the repeater will be located.
There is no charge for coordination. In other words -- nobody makes any money on this! This web site is updated on a regular basis. Please check back frequently for updates. |
