Several updates have now been received. Some of these listings on the Overdue Construction permit list now need to be removed. Will get this done very soon. Thanks to those trustees that have responded so far.

Repeater Trustees or contact persons, If you recently received an update request packet in the mail or email, please respond to it asap. Even if you received it by hard copy, you may respond by electronic means. ORSI officers, this includes you. Still awaiting responses from KS5B, K5GUD, and WK5Y. I've heard from N5KNU, W5RAB, and WA5A thanks.

A couple of announcements from the Spring ORSI membership meeting

Submitted by wb5osm on Mon, 04/26/2010 - 14:45

NE District Officer and ORSI secretary Bob Buford W5RAB resigned - retired. We appreciate the years of dedicated service. His replacement as NE District Officer was elected, we'll introduce him later. The secretary position is currently vacant.

The way the officer positions are determined:

President, elected by the membership, and is an at large position.

The district officers are elected by the membership, but must live within the district they represent. Then three of the officers are appointed by the president and sort of volunteer to serve as treasurer, vice-president, and secretary. The other three officers serve with the president on a coordination oversight committee to help resolve any controversies or interference issues.

Frequency Coordination Issues and Answers

Submitted by wb5osm on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 02:01
  • What is a Shared non-protected pair?
  • It was asked about using 145.25 for a network of repeater for disaster work, so one would never be out of range of one.
  • How or who do we work with in the surrounding states?
  • What if someone puts up a repeater in one of the surrounding states that interferes with my repeater?
  • What if the trustee of that repeater says he is coordinated, but it is through a coordination group that we don’t know or recognize?
  • So what about the mess in Texas? What is ORSI doing about it?
  • What is the biggest problem we have here in Oklahoma?
  • Speaking of that, “I want a repeater pair for my area; you say there are no pairs available. You guys have one listed, but I have not heard it on the air for a long time. What’s the deal?
