Section 1 -- Repeater information

•	Repeater Call Sign: What is the callsign of the repeater?
•	Repeater Location: What is the name of the repeater site location?
•	Output & Input frequency: Transmit and receive frequencies of the repeater (duplex)
•	Transmitter output power: How much power in watts is the transmitter feeding into the feed line?  Reminder:  in Arizona, 432-450 MHz has a 50 W limit (see FCC Rules).
•	System ERP: Calculate the Effective Radiated Power by adding the antenna gain and subtracting line loss, duplexer loss, isolator loss, connectors loss, and any other losses, to the transmitter power, converting to Watts.

•	Site Elevation: Indicate site elevation in feet above mean sea level.
•	Antenna Elevation: Indicate Height of the Antenna in feet above ground.
•	Manufacturer and model of antenna: List name and model number
•	Antenna Gain:  List the manufacturer’s estimate of gain in dBd. 
•	Polarity: Vertical or Horizontal
•	Pattern: Omni, or describe
•	Bearing: Omni, or direction of main lobe of pattern in degrees from north
•	Mountain Top Sites:  Check if mountain top, AND, if above 1000 feet, provide HAAT: Indicate the antenna Height Above Average Terrain.  Use the HATT calculator   On Line Calculator  found at: (http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/haat_calculator.html)
•	Repeater Estimated Geographic Coverage: What is the estimated geographic area of the repeater? Pick the most appropriate for your repeater:  North West AZ, North Central AZ, North East AZ, West Central AZ, Central AZ, East Central AZ, South West AZ, South Central AZ, South East AZ, Metro Flagstaff, Metro Phoenix, Metro Tucson.

	IRLP: Indicate Node #
ACCESS:  Indicate access code or CTCSS tone
LTZ:  LONG TONE ZERO equipped
DTMF:  DTMF required for access
	REMARKS:  Provide additional info on any of the above

Section 2 -- Single Point of Contact

•	Contact person Information: List a contact person who can be notified and respond to questions on your behalf in the event a situation arises with the system that needs to be addressed and we are not able to contact you.

Estimate when the repeater will be on-the-air.
Note: coordination if approved will be conditional for the first 90 days pending no unforeseen issues or interference. You have 90 days to get the station on-the-air and functioning as intended. In the event there are delays, the coordinators may grant a 90 days extension on a case-by-case basis. You are required to keep the coordinator informed as to the operating status and updates on the progress of station construction and or repairs.

Sign and submit the form by mailing it or the coordinator for the appropriate band as listed on the on the coordinators website (http://www.azfreqcoord.org/coord.html), 
or e-mail it to:  coordinators@azfreqcoord.org
