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-3 simplex frequency; starting at 1945 hours our 220 simplex frequency with an NBEMS digital message sent after the voice net; at about 1955 hours the 440 PV-West repeater; and concluding with another NBEMS message on 2-meter TAC-3. 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.

Please advise if you hear unusual interference on any of our frequencies during our Monday night nets. We are being increasingly vigilant to ensure our frequencies will not be unduly impaired during DCS activities or emergencies.

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.

We need every member to periodically help operate a portion of our Monday night nets either at the Lomita Sheriff Station or from home. Please advise of any date during the 1st quarter of 2026 that work best for you before we assign members for each Monday.

We are saddened to report the passing of two long-time ham operators associated with District 17 DCS for many years through 2009. Bill Pomeranz, KB6FB, was our T-01 during 2001-2009 and had moved from Rolling Hills Estates to the SF Bay area in 2017 where he passed away at age 87 on December 7, 2025. We also learned Chuck Lobb, KN6H, who was a past DCS member and founder of Torrance's TARA city radio group became a Silent Key on January 14, 2026, at age 93. A memorial service for Chuck will be scheduled at a later date.
