Routine: 10/26/2026 0915 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Our District nets tonight are being operated from the South Los Angeles Sheriff Station in a modified format owing to lack of 440 capability there. Our nets beginning at 1930 hours will use the W6TRW 2-meter repeater (no 440 cross-band link); at 1945 hours our 220 simplex frequency with an NBEMS digital message after the voice net; and at about 1955 hours our 2-meter TAC-3 simplex frequency with another NBEMS digital message after the voice portion. All DCS members and members of the South Bay's city-affiliated disaster amateur radio groups are encouraged to check in. (LMT-01) Routine: 10/26/2026 0925 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 We thank Cindy, T-223; Steve, T-101; and Joseph, T-102, for serving at our DCS exhibit during the four-city Prepared Peninsula Expo yesterday in Rolling Hills Estates. A number of people stopped by our exhibit, including elected officials and staff from all four cities. An unusual aspect yesterday was a sudden 45-second wind blast at 1235 hours on an otherwise calm day sending a number of exhibitor canopies flying. With four DCS members holding onto our canopy's four corners we only lost a few brochures to the wind...but it was truly a new experience for us. (LMT-02) Routine: 10/26/2026 0935 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 We encourage 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-03) Routine: 10/26/2026 0950 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 The recent 440 ham band interference from a military radar continues on an intermittent basis affecting amateur operators in much of the L.A. Basin. Please let me know if you encounter such interference on any 440 repeater and the time(s) of day this happened. As mentioned, amateur radio is a secondary user on the 440 ham band with the U.S. military having primary rights. (LMT-04) Routine: 10/26/2026 1015 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 If you have any friends, family members, or other acquaintances interested in getting an amateur radio license there's an upcoming free Technician course in Rancho Palos Verdes sponsored by the Palos Verdes Amateur Radio Club. The classes are on Saturdays, November 7 and 14, at Fred Hesse Community Park, 29301 Hawthorne Blvd., from 0930 to 1230 hours both days. A license exam session will be offered at Hesse Park on Saturday, November 21, from 1000-1215 hours but exams may be taken elsewhere such as the monthly W6TRW Swap Meet in north Redondo Beach. To register for the free license class RSVP to the instructor Steve, KI6TEQ at: [email protected] . (LMT-05) (End of Messages) |
