The periodic 220 amateur band interference is continuing but with a new intermittent signal pattern. If you experience it, send in a FCC Consumer Complaint and call a new “Stop Buzzer” number of 610-349-0104. Let me know at [email protected]. We have been asked by the FCC to keep a log of these events. I need the time, date, ticket number and whether the interference ceased when you call. A one page description of specific instructions will be sent out separately.

We need every District DCS member to periodically help operate part of our Monday night nets from the Lomita Sheriff Station (or home) to become more confident and knowledgeable of our net procedures. At the Lomita Station you will be working with either Deane, S-50 or Diana, S-60. Using a random selection process here's the operating schedule through August 2025:
  • June 30: T-124 
  • July 7: T-227 
  • July 14: T-217 
  • July 28: T-92 
  • August 4: T-22 (home station) 
  • August 11: T-62 
  • August 25: T-234 
If you cannot make your date please advise of a Monday that works for you.

We had a successful Field Day this past Saturday testing the Lomita Station's roof-mounted HF antenna installed in late 2023. Operating with me were Skip, Staff-4, and Cynthia, T-220. Together we made more than 75 contacts across multiple bands during our three hours in the Lomita DCS room.

Members are still 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.

It being almost the start of a new month, please take time to ensure all your radio batteries are fully-charged and ready.
