A new repeater coordination management system is in the works. Our current system Repeater Coordination Managemet runs under MS Access and may be 30-40 years old. Furthermore, MS Access is not part of the Microsoft Office 365 software suite. Don Ohse W5DRO is working on the new system. Which will be web-based and semi-auotmated. As the frequency coordinator and Tulsa District Officer, I've been testing the site and getting familiar with how it works. It will also include a mobile app that will aid in updating repeaters out in the field.
