<p>Maybe you have done this, but FRC needs notification of the repeaters actually being turned on.  After they get this notice it often goes for few months before formal coordination is given, probably to see if an interference issue pops up.<br>

<div>I have been involved in three new repeater coordinations in the past year and a half. FRC’s Mike Gonzalez N2FSU has been very responsive and helpful. All three units are now up and running in 70 cm band and formal Coordination Requests were submitted on
 the web site as the units were activated.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Only disappointment is that I’ve received no “formal” acknowledgement from FRC of the Coordination. Am working on the theory that “no news is good news” and the fact that we’ve received no interference complaints. Nor have we been interfered with
 by any other repeaters.</div>
