Southern California: TASMA - Two Meter Area Spectrum Management Assn   "TASMA is a volunteer organization of amateur radio operators whose goal is to minimize interference and maximize spectrum usage in the Two Meter Amateur Radio band. This is done primarily by coordinating locations and frequencies for repeater operation and the development of band plans. TASMA also attempts to mediate interference issues and to assist repeater owners when possible."
Southern California: 220 MHz Spectrum Management Association   "The 220SMA is a not-for-profit Association of Amateur Radio operators dedicated to education about, and technical and operational management of the Amateur Radio 220 MHz bands. The Association represents all modes of operation and develops Band Plans intended to facilitate the maximum practicable use of the limited spectrum. Membership in the Association is open to individual Amateur Radio Operators in an effort to allow for maximum representation from all interest segments, and minimize the influence of any one special interest area. The Coordination Board operates within the Association to perform the formal coordination activities associated with the 219 MHz Digital Linking and 222 MHz Repeater Coordination activities."
Southern California: The Southern California Repeater and Remote Base Association   "SCRRBA is a volunteer organization providing coordination of a number of heavily utilized amateur radio frequency bands in Southern California. SCRRBA is a member of the National Frequency Coordinators' Council (NFCC). We provide frequency coordination and achieve solutions to problems on the 10 meter, 6 meter, UHF, 900 MHz, 1200 MHz and microwave frequency amateur bands in the Southern California area. SCRRBA has provided frequency coordination of these activities since 1970. We actively participate in the numerous Federal Communications Commission rule making proceedings pertinent to our activities."

Sites of interest to repeater-builders that don't fit into any of the above categories...
Home Power Magazine     (Now defunct, see below)
Over the last few decades the majority of the efficiency engineering on small power systems has been done by the "off-the-grid" homeowners... those that live far from the power lines and depend on solar electric panels, wind generators, micro‑hydro water systems, etc. The "bible" of their community is the 6-times-per-year Home Power Magazine (at http://www.homepower.com), and is published by Richard and Karen Perez (N7BCR and KA7ETV) in Oregon. If you are interested in solar power for a repeater site, or in reducing your home power bill, this is the magazine for you. Since the first issue in October 1987, they have published hundreds of articles on solar, wind, and microhydro electricity, energy efficiency, solar hot water systems, space heating and cooling, energy-efficient building materials and home design, efficient transportation, and more. Check out the Solar Electric Basics articles. No, I've no interest in the magazine except as a long-time subscriber. The advertising pages in the magazine pay for the production and are useful as a source of vendors of panels, charge controllers, disconnects, batteries, energy efficient appliances, and more.

// Update:
// This page was written in 2003. Home Power Magazine has folded; the last issue was November 2018.
// The complete 31 years of publication - every issue - is available for download from their web site at https://www.homepower.com.
