Routine: 09/22/2025 1000 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Tonight's District nets starting at 1930 hours will use the W6TRW 2-meter repeater cross-linked with the K6RH 440 repeater; our 2-meter TAC-3 simplex frequency (voice net); at 1945 hours our 220 simplex frequency with an NBEMS digital message sent following the voice portion; at about 1955 hours the 440 PV-West repeater (voice net); and concluding with another NBEMS message on 2-meter TAC-3 simplex. All DCS members and South Bay's city-affiliated disaster amateur radio group members are encouraged to check in on as many segments as possible. (LMT-01) Routine: 09/22/2025 1015 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 DCS events through October are: the 2025 Great California ShakeOut on Thursday, Oct. 16; and on Sunday, Oct. 26, District 3/17 DCS is exhibiting at the annual Prepared Peninsula Expo in Palos Verdes Peninsula High School's parking lot alongside the Farmers Market. In November: 1) a countywide quarterly DCS communication exercise on Saturday, November 1st; 2) a semi-annual District 3/17/27 member meeting via Zoom with dates TBA; 3) possible Special Election Night service on November 4th when just one item is on the ballot (DCS involvement still to be determined); and 4) the California Healthcare and Medical statewide exercise on November 20. More info to follow as these dates near. (LMT-02) Routine: 09/22/2025 1025 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 A non-DCS event (and no DCS uniforms/ID to be worn), but eligible for "Other DCS Hours"--the City of Manhattan Beach 10K race on Saturday, October 4, 2025 needs additional amateur radio operators to provide race communication. The race starts at 7:30 am and usually finishes between 9:30 and 10 am. Our fellow DCS member Steve T-101 is coordinating the 10K's amateur radio support for the City-- e-mail him at [email protected] if you can operate at this race. (LMT-03) Routine: 09/22/2025 1045 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 The 220 amateur band interference continues. The company’s experimental license permits their operation so long as there is no interference. It remains important to remain vigilant and report every incidence of interference. The problem will be most likely be on repeater inputs and simplex operation. File an FCC complaint at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=38844FCC Consumer Complaint and call the “Stop Buzzer” number of 610-349-0104 for each incident of 220 ham band interference. We have been asked to keep a log of these events. Let me know at [email protected] the date, time, ticket number and whether the interference ceased when you called. (LMT-04) Routine: 09/22/2025 1055 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Every District DCS member should periodically 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. Here's the operating schedule through early November 2025:
(LMT-05) Routine: 09/22/2025 1100 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 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. (LMT-06) (End of Messages) |
