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.

NEWS!
TO BE APPROVED AT THE FLAGSTAFF HAMFEST

Requirements, Nomination procedure and voting for Committee Chairman

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.

Lance Halle KW7LH
Committee Chairman.

Proposed Band Plan Update
We will remain on the current band plan until such time as a better solution that is workable for all (at least most) can be found.
You can submit comments and suggestions to the Frequency Coordination Committee at the address below:

The Frequency Coordination Committee e-mail address is:
coordinators at azfreqcoord.org!
This address is valid for ALL the coordinators. Please include in the subject line of your e-mail a reference to the band you wish to coordinate.

Please do not post this address on any web page without express permission from the coordination committee. However, you may freely link to this web page.


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.
Coordination policies are also made or revised at the repeater owners meeting.

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!
