HillHaven, Plano Center - Saturday, June 14th  @ 1000

Texas VHF-FM Society Forum
Hosted by Paul Baumgardner, W5PSB, Walter "Rusty" Herman, KB5R
The Texas VHF-FM Society provides frequency coordination services for amateur repeaters in the state of
Texas. Originally founded to provide communications between the various groups in Texas doing repeater
work, the Society also provided a network of parts and equipment for use in repeaters and associated activities.
As the number of repeaters increased over time, in the early 1970's the Society took on the jobs of coordinating
repeaters, setting standards for repeater construction, and band planning of frequencies for repeater
usage in Texas. The Society continues today in it's 41st year as an 800 member strong, statewide organization
that represents the concerns and needs of repeater trustees in Texas.

Online Database Update

Written by Mark Stennett Sunday, 20 January 2008

Online Database Update 

 

The Database Committee has successfully ported the distance and bearing algorithm into PHP with results that match 100% what the FCC uses for broadcast work on their web site. The results of this new algorithm are within 0.5% of what the old DBase program produces.

The new online program will allow new trustees to apply for their construction permit via the Society's web site and allow coordinators to assign channels accordingly. In the event a channel is unavailable at the site and on the band selected by the applicant, they will automatically be placed on the waiting list.

Ultimately renewals will be handled online and trustees will be notified via email if they are registered with the Society's web site.

 

More information and screen shots are available in the new Forum.
