Routine: 08/31/2026 1010 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Tonight's District nets from the Lomita Sheriff Station at 1930 hours will use the 2-meter W6TRW repeater cross-linked with the 440 Rolling Hills repeater; our 2-meter TAC-1 simplex frequency; at 1945 hours the 220 simplex frequency with an NBEMS digital message after the voice net; at about 1955 hours the 440 PV-West repeater; and concluding with another NBEMS digital message on 2-meter TAC-1. All DCS members and members of the South Bay's city-affiliated disaster amateur groups are encouraged to check in. There will be no District nets next Monday, Sept. 7, on Labor Day. (LMT-01) Routine: 08/31/2026 1020 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 After this past Saturday's DCS new member orientation the Marina Del Rey Sheriff Station now has approved DCS members including three who attended via Zoom and need to sign their final papers in person. There are two more MDR applications still awaiting final approval. We will be working closely with the new MDR members in the months ahead to restart that DCS District. Effective this week there will be separate weekly messages for the new MDR members and ours will revert to just Districts 3 and 17. (LMT-02) Routine: 08/31/2026 1035 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 All members are again encouraged 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: 08/31/2026 1045 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 We've become aware of unusual interference in the 440 ham band recently which has affected the Palos Verdes Amateur Radio Club's 440 repeater and possibly others. It's believed the interference is from a military radar whose signal covers at least 10 MHz of spectrum, but it's not from Caos which created the previous 222-225 MHz interference. The 440 interference is noticed when a weak station (such as an HT user) opens the repeater squelch and the more powerful radar signal then captures the receiver. Please let me know if you encounter such interference on any 440 repeater and the time(s) of day this happened. As most know, amateur radio is a secondary user on the 440 ham band with the U.S. military having primary rights. (LMT-04) Routine: 08/31/2026 1100 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 We invite DCS members and our area's city radio groups to send us NBEMS digital messages besides receiving ours from the Lomita Sheriff Station on Monday nights. When you check into our nets let us know if you have NBEMS traffic. The net control will ask for your message at an appropriate time during the net. (LMT-05) (End of Messages) |
