Tonight's District nets from the Lomita Sheriff Station starting at 1930 hours will use the 2-meter W6TRW repeater cross-linked with the 440 K6RH Rolling Hills repeater; our 2-meter TAC-1 simplex frequency; our 220 simplex frequency with an NBEMS digital message following voice check-ins; the 440 PV-West repeater; and concluding with another NBEMS message on 2-meter TAC-1 simplex. 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.

Our DCS booth at yesterday's Prepared Peninsula Expo was fully outfitted and staffed. While visitor attendance was modest we had good conversations with Lomita LASD personnel, city officials, and LA County Fire Department besides being interviewed on video by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes cable TV channel. Staffing our exhibit were: Steve, T-101; Joseph, T-102; Cindy, T-223; and myself. Steve, T-227, came by as well.

We have not seen 220 ham band interference since the Caos experimental licenses in LA County expired on 09/23/25. The remaining Caos experimental license in Riverside County is in effect until 05/01/26, on a non-interference basis with amateurs. It remains important to remain vigilant and report every incidence of 220 ham band interference, most likely on repeater inputs and simplex operation. Call the Caos “Stop Buzzer” number of 610-349-0104 for each incident. Let me know at [email protected] the date, time, ticket number and whether the interference ceased when you called. When the partial Government shutdown has concluded, file an FCC complaint at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=38844

Thank you to everyone who has helped operate part of our Monday night nets this year and became more knowledgeable of our net procedures. Here's the operating schedule for operating at the Lomita Station (with Deane S-50 or Diana S-60)--or from your home if necessary--through mid-November 2025:
  • October 27: T-217 
  • November 3: T-102 
  • November 10: T-92 
If you cannot operate on your scheduled date please advise of a Monday that works for you.

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.
