Any updates received by the coordinator after this Sunday 1/29/12 cannot be published in this edition of the ARRL Repeater Directory, you will have to wait until next year. However, the database on the ORSI web-site is updated about once per month. The ORSI recent news section is updated as new information is received. Remember for your convenience we now have a user-friendly do it yourself coordination update form here on the web.

Submitted by wb5osm on Sat, 01/21/2012 - 00:38ORSI Membership Voted for Mandatory Updates of Frequency Coordination Every Three Years
Submitted by wb5osm on Thu, 12/08/2011 - 08:35The problem of "paper" repeaters plagues all frequency coordinators everywhere. We have reviewed the policies of most of the surrounding states. Some require annual renewal, but we decided to be more laid back like our sister society over with our great neighbors to the East, Arkansas. Where they call for triennial renewals. We are going to make this easier than ever. We will still send out update request forms where needed, but as our web-master WD5M announced, we will have a user-friendly on-line do it yourself update form.
Coming December 11, Repeater Information Update Request Web Form
Submitted by wd5m on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 18:43On December 11, look for a new ORSI web form page for repeater sponsor and trustees to submit updates for general information about repeaters. Updates may include CTCSS tone, contact details, web site URL and special feature attributes. The coordinator will review and confirm changes, before applying to the database.
Other details that require changes to coordination, such as location, power, sponsor, etc, will continue to require a coordination form sent to the ORSI coordinator. See the ORSI coordination guidelines. The new web form will only provide updates for general repeater details, that do not require coordination review.
