👉FASMA Coordination Form 1.12 Dec 24, 2021 PDF Download👈
- Please when submitting the form, email it to coord@fasma.org and use a descriptive subject such as “W4ABC Frostproof new 440 Repeater“.
- Do not submit multiple repeaters per email
- One email for each repeater
- If you need to add more information, reply to the email response you got. Don’t just email another to coord@fasma.org, it will open another ticket and add to our workload.
- Do not submit the form as an image/screenshot/raster
- Submit the properly filled out PDF form only. We need to be able to copy and paste from it.
- Have the form filled out correctly, please.
- Do not submit a form for a repeater site unless you have permission in hand to go on the site.
- Doing a coordination for a repeater where it’s on a 150 meter tower is lots of work to find a working frequency. When we do this and get an email back after finding a frequency of
oh ya, sorry, can’t get on that big tower after all, so I’m putting it at my house at 10 meters, here’s the new location
This is just a huge waste of time. The repeater would have been served well by our itinerant policy
- Doing a coordination for a repeater where it’s on a 150 meter tower is lots of work to find a working frequency. When we do this and get an email back after finding a frequency of
- If your repeater is under 15 meters/50 feet above ground, and is at your house, why won’t it fit under the itinerant policy? We still list these if you file the application.
- If asked questions by our staff, please answer them completely.
-
Repeater Record Number
- Only used if updating an existing coordination. A new application will not have a record number until it’s pending coordination.
-
Repeater Callsign
- The callsign the repeater will identify with
- The person making the application should be the holder or trustee of this callsign.
-
Coordination status
- This is current status of the repeater
- New Request, Existing Coordination or Unknown
-
Latitude and Longitude
- This is in DECIMAL DEGREES i.e. 27.95, -082.46
- We only require down to two decimal places.
- This is reasonably accurate for propagation modeling, but not so much so that it will endanger your site. This was a problem in the past and the way to prevent it is not knowing the exact location. If FASMA doesn’t know the exact location, we can’t disclose it.
- If you have Degrees Minutes Seconds, use this converter
- WGS84 is the datum. This is the standard datum used by GPS satellites, but if you have NAD83 (The FCC uses NAD 83) this converter may be used.
- DO NOT USE YOUR LOCAL AIRPORT AS THE REPEATER LOCATION
-
County
- County the repeater is located in
- This must be a valid county in the state of Florida
- Wikipedia has a list
-
City
- City the repeater is located in.
- This will be in the listings
- If outside of a city, the closest city may be listed.
-
Frequency Output/Input
- This need not be a specific frequency, a band or range/list is ok. FASMA will attempt to locate a working frequency for you.
- This is the output and optionally input frequency if non-standard
- FASMA only coordinates output frequencies.
-
Channel Size
- This is the bandwidth in KHz of the channel you’re requesting
- This varies based on band segment and modulation.
- Please refer to the bandplans
- 50-54 MHz – 20/10 KHz
- 144-146 MHz – 20/10 KHz
- 146-148 MHz – 15/7.5 KHz
- 222-225 MHz – 20/10 KHz
- 420-440 MHZ – 6000 KHz ATV, 100 KHz digital, 25 KHz linking
- 440-450 MHz – 25/12.5 KHz
- 902-928 MHz – 25/12.5 KHz – Note 25 KHz is rarely used here
- 1240-1300 MHz – 100/50 KHz
-
Power (Watts) into the feedline
- This is not the power output of the repeater, it is the power into the feedline after the duplexer or filtering loss.
- A watt meter is placed in the output of the filters where the feedline leaves the equipment room and this is the power measurement needed here.
-
Entity holding coordination
- This is the legal entity holding the coordination
- If a club, it must be either incorporated and current in sunbiz.org or have an FCC club callsign.
- FASMA needs a clear legal point of contact, and cannot be expected to discern ownership of a coordination with no clear legal entity.
- A coordination may be held personally as well.
-
Antenna Manufacturer
- The manufacturer name of the antenna
- i.e. Commscope
-
Antenna Model
- The model of the antenna
- i.e. DB-420
-
Antenna Height
- The height above ground of the antenna expressed in meters.
- Google can convert between imperial and meters if you need it.
-
Supporting Structure type
- This is the same codes used by the FCC
-
Code - Description B - Building BANT - Building with Antenna on Top BMAST - Building with Mast BPIPE - Building with Pipe BPOLE - Building with Pole BRIDG - Bridge BTWR - Building with Tower GTOWER - Guyed Structure Used For Communication Purposes LTOWER - Lattice Tower MAST - Mast MTOWER - Monopole NNGTANN - Guyed Tower Array NNLTANN - Lattice Tower Array NNMTANN - Monopole Array PIPE - Any type of Pipe POLE - Any type of Pole RIG - Oil or Other Type of Rig SIGN - Any type of Sign or Billboard SILO - Any type of Silo STACK - Smoke Stack TANK - Any type of Tank (water, gas, etc.) TREE - When used as a support for an antenna UPOLE - Utility Pole/Tower used to provide service
-
Coax Model and Type
- The manufacturer and model of the feedline
- i.e. Commscope LDF4-50a – 1/2 hardline
- Don’t just put “Hardline”
- Also FASMA will coordinate repeaters using LDF cables, but encourages trustees to be aware of the issues regarding braided cables in duplex service.
-
Feedline Length in Meters
- Length of feedline in meters
-
Additional Loss (gain) in dB
- If you system has any additional loss that is not accounted for in feedline, antenna gain, or power into feedline, please list it here and explain why in the “additional information” area at the bottom.
-
Emission 1 & 2
- FASMA uses ITU Emission Designators
- Up to two may be listed
- The following are supported:
-

-
Access Code(s)
- FASMA has a list of suggested tones per county
- This is the CTCSS or DCS code(s) for analog
- DMR uses a Color Code
- NXDN uses a RAN
- P25 uses a NAC
- Other access for ATV/etc.
- FASMA doesn’t permit repeaters which do not use an access code.
- A repeater is expected to transmit and receive a code. Repeaters which do not transmit a code make it much more likely their users will hear adjacent users.
- It’s 2022, buy a radio that can do CTCSS.
- There is no grandfathering of this, you’re holding back the rest of the state if you choose to run carrier squelch.
