The K5UV repeater in Harrah, OK is now operating on 145.15 MHz. Since it is still below 100' HAAT ORSI reserves the right to put another 145.15 less than 90 miles from it.

Repeater information was last updated 09-Aug-2010.

The ORSI board voted to list all coordinations, where a trustee requested non-publication, we will only publish the frequency, county, coordination date and update dates. Then show it as a closed access repeater.

This Oklahoma database was published here as of 09-Aug-2010. The database as of Circa 16-Jan-2009 was sent to the ARRL for use in that year's edition of the "Repeater Directory." The ARRL sent the data for the 2009-2010 Repeater Directory to the printer on 30-Jan-2009, any updates received after this date will NOT be published in the 09/10 "RD".

The fall meeting is tentatively planned for Mid-October, and VERY LIKELY in Woodward. If we have the meeting in the NW district. We will attempt to have representation at the Texoma Hamfest. The Spring 2011 meeting will be in Stillwater. We like to use Stillwater since it is almost perfectly located between OKC and Tulsa, where most repeaters are. Then move the other meeting around the state, especially the NW, SW, and SE districts so repeater trustee's in those area's may attend and participate.

We reported several months ago that NE district officer and ORSI secretary for many years Bob Buford W5RAB resigned/retired from his position with ORSI. His replacement is Mr. Billy R. Jones K0CIY of Tallequah,Okla. Snail Mail:L 30067 So. Sizemore Rd. Parkhill, Okla. 74451 PH: 1-918-457-3232 email: billyr@LREC.org. He asked not to be secretary so that position is vacant right now. ORSI President Scott Baker WA5A will have to appoint a secretary from the ORSI board members at the fall meeting.

A situation where two fully coordinated repeater systems were causing interference to each other occurred when the SWIRA purchased a repeater operating on 146.745 MHz from Mr. Chester Agan KJ5FD of Ardmore. The repeater was located a few miles north of Ardmore in Murray county. The Muskogee ARC in Northeast Oklahoma also operates a machine on 146.745 and has for many years. It is their primary repeater. The SWIRA made some improvements to their antenna and placed it on their link system, improving both the repeaters range and activity level.

Matt Garcia N5PTV reported that he will be moving his experimental 927.4875 repeater to more significant site in the OKC area. It is currently operating from his home QTH with very limited range. However, he has secured a site with very much better HAAT and expects to move there in a month or two.
