Frequency Coordination is the primary function of LCARC. Our volunteers work to provide this service to the amateur radio community. Coordination is currently available for repeater and point-to-point operations and is available for all authorized frequencies from 29 MHz to 1.2 GHz.

Please contact your zone coordinator to submit a new application or to update your coordination records. The coordination process can take several weeks, even if we do not encounter any problems with your application.

We strongly suggest that you do not purchase equipment until you receive your frequency assignment letter.  At this time the 2 meter band in Southeast Louisiana is very crowded; please allow for additional processing time for this zone.

All newly coordinated systems are to be operational within six (6) months. Please keep us advised on any delay in the construction process.  Repeater owners are requested to communicate with their Regional Coordinators if there is a change in status.

Upon request, the trustee or sponsor of a repeater must be able to demonstrate that a repeater system is functioning as coordinated. Coordinated repeaters that are observed to be off the air for three (3) months or longer may be de-coordinated.

LCARC will work with repeater owners who are actively working on a new installation or to restore service to an existing repeater. Normally a thirty (30) day extension is granted upon notification. Additional extensions may be granted upon submission of documentation.
