Why we should COORDINATE Frequency coordination is a way to
minimize interference among stations while maximizing use of the limited
radio spectrum available to the Amateur Radio Service by planning what
specific frequency or frequencies a given station will operate on in a
specific region. Once the construction application is
completed, you can either mail the documents to: SNRC Repeater coordination 6735 Garden Grove Avenue, Las Vegas,
NV, 89103 OR you may scan the document and email
to: information@snrc.us The American Radio Relay League Amateur Frequency Coordinators [Note: The following

SNRC's primary purpose is to coordinate the activities on
the 29, 51, 144, 222, 420, 440, 902, 1240MHz, and microwave frequency bands

It is our goal to make applying for frequency more
efficient and painless, we have adopted new means of applying. All our
applications will now be done via USPS. We have an online form wherein an
applicant may submit his/her application via mail. The coordinators will
then get a chance to review and collate all the information needed to
ensure proper band plan coordination.
SNRC uses BAND PLANS, http://www.snrc.us/bandplan.htm which have been
generated by the ARRL. The applicant will apply for frequency based on the
prescribed band plans. One of the functions of the council is to
continuously devise plans and solutions to find a suitable frequency for an
applicant. The council will regularly communicate with other coordinators
in the neighboring regions in order to prevent harmful interference but
promote peaceful co-existence with adjacent repeater systems. It would also
be to the applicant's best interest to review and monitor the frequency
he/she is applying for for a few weeks before putting in for it to look out
for UN-COORDINATED repeaters.
The SNRC has developed all these new changes in order to
avoid non-coordinated repeaters. The ARRL and the FCC has been known to
take action against licenses of un-coordinated repeaters especially those
who have caused interference to 'coordinated' repeaters.
The ARRL is not a Frequency Coordinator, nor does the
ARRL "certify" coordinators. Frequency Coordinators are
volunteers normally appointed by a coordinating body. The ARRL reports only
the fact of coordination or non-coordination as instructed by the
coordinating body. Publication of coordinator information by the ARRL does
not constitute nor imply endorsement or recognition of the authority of
such coordinators, as coordinators derive their authority from the
voluntary participation of the entire amateur community in the areas they
serve. Frequency Coordinators keep extensive records of repeater input,
output and control frequencies, including those not published in
directories (at the owner's request). The coordinator will recommend
frequencies for a proposed repeater in order to minimize interference with
other repeaters and simplex operations. Therefore, anyone considering the
installation of a repeater should check with the local frequency coordinator
prior to such installation.
