Routine: 02/02/2026 1000 hours To: All Members From: Jerry Kendrick, T-03 Tonight's District nets starting at 1930 hours from the Lomita Sheriff Station will use the W6TRW 2-meter repeater cross-linked with the 440 Rolling Hills repeater; our 2-meter TAC-1 simplex frequency; starting at 1945 hours our 220 simplex frequency with an NBEMS digital message after the voice net; at about 1955 hours a voice net on the 440 PV-West repeater; and concluding with another NBEMS message on 2-meter TAC-1. All DCS members and members of the South Bay's city-affiliated disaster amateur radio groups are encouraged to check in on as many frequencies as possible. (LMT-01) Routine: 02/02/2026 1015 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 We are now fully-staffed for operating on Feb. 8 at Redondo Beach's Super Bowl Sunday 10K/5K alongside Redondo Beach Police Department Volunteers who are licensed amateur operators. Operating for DCS will be: T-88; T-101; T-102; T-109; T-217; T-230; T-234; S-50; S-60; and L-04. Over 8,000 runners/walkers are expected at this year's 10K/5K along Redondo's coastline. (LMT-02) Routine: 02/02/2026 1030 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 Please advise if you hear unusual interference on any of our frequencies during Monday night nets or other times. We are being increasingly vigilant to ensure our frequencies will not be unduly impaired during DCS activities or emergencies. (LMT-03) Routine: 02/02/2026 1045 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 We encourage all members to use the 440 PV-West repeater during non-net hours to keep this frequency active. We would like to ensure PV-West's frequency isn't encroached by another repeater. (LMT-04) Routine: 02/02/2026 1050 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 We need every member to periodically operate a portion of our Monday night nets either at the Lomita Sheriff Station or from home. Last call: Please advise of any date during the 1st quarter of 2026 that works best for you before we assign members.
