Thanks to the hard work of Matt Stennett, K5RYN we are now able to implement a new on-line repeater renewal system.  The new system will enable you to renew your repeater on-line as well as receive an electronic confirmation once the zone coordinator has reviewed your submission.  This will greatly cut down on the paperwork and time required for renewals. 

 If you recieved an email or post card with your username and password,  Please select the link shown to the left of this article marked "RF PROJECTOR" under the Main Menu.  This will take you to the on-line renewal page.  

 FAQ for On-line Renewals:
 
1.  How will I be notified that the on-line renewal system is ready?
 
An automated email has been sent to the email address on record from your past repeater renewals.  This email will contain renewal instructions as well as a one time login password for your account.  If you have previously set up an on-line account with RF Projector for on-line voting, the same username and password work for your repeater renewal account. 
 
2.  What if I don’t have an email address on file?
 
For trustees that do not have an email address on file, a post card was mailed the first week in December with a one time login similar to how it was done for on-line voting.  The one time login will require you to login and change your password. 
 
3.  What if I choose not to create an on-line account so that I can renew my repeater coordination?
 
While we encourage everyone to use the on-line systems as this saves time and money for mailings, we realize that there are some trustees that do not have access to a computer.  Renewals not renewed using the on-line system by the end of December will be followed up with a standard paper renewal.  We encourage you to please use the on-line system if at all possible. 
 
4.  Can I change information on my renewal using the on-line system?
 
The non-technical fields may be updated using the on-line system.  Changes in trustees or technical changes (repeater location) will still need to be requested using the proper paper forms at this time. 
 
5.  How will I know my renewal has been processed?
 
Once you submit your on-line renewal, the request goes into a queue for the zone coordinator covering the area where the repeater is located.  The zone coordinator will then approve or deny the renewal depending on any changes to the information.  The trustee will then receive an automated email stating the status of the renewal. 

 6.  I expected to recieve an email to renewa  a particular repeater, but I didn't.  What should I do?

• Your email address may not have been updated or may have bounced.  All bounced emails and renewals that do not have an email listed will be followed up with a post card sent to your FCC address containing your login information.  Please make sure your spam filter is set to allow email from This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
  
• Some club coordinated repeaters have different trustees depending on what the club leadership has chosen.  If you have a club coordianted repeater, you might want to check with your club leadership.  There is a form available if you need to update the trustee of your club repeater on the "frequency coordiantion" page.
  
• Only coordinated repeaters are going through the process at this time.  If you have a construction permit that is still outstanding and you have not returned your on-air status form, your repeater is not yet coordinated so it will not be availble for renewal.  You will need to place your system on the air and return the on-air status form to your zone coordinator to complete coordination. 

 7.  Can I submit on-line construction permits or technical change forms at this time?  

  At this time, only renewals are available on-line.  There are plans to place the existing forms on-line, but they are not ready at this time.

 8.  I went through the on-line renewal process, but I haven't recieved a confirmation email yet.  What do I need to do?

• A confirmation email is sent showing the approval of your renewal once the zone coordiantor reviews your information and electronically approves the renewal.  Depending on the coordinator's schedule, it make take a few days before the renewal is approved.
• Some internet service providers may be blocking email form This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .  If your ISP is blocking the email, you may still veryify that your renewal was approved by logging into RFProjector, clicking on "renewals", and looking at the status of your renewals.  Repeaters highlighted in green have been approved.  You may check the renewal status at any time without waiting for a confirmation email.   

 9.  I'm having trouble logging into the website.  What shoud I do?

• Please be sure that you are using following site for the login: http://www.rfprojector.com/txvhffm/    Most problems so far have been because trustee have been using the wrong website. 
• There is a limit to the number of times that you may attempt a login.  If you have too many bad login attempts, you will need to contact the database adminstrator and have your account reset.  Please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
