This Monday's District 3/17 nets starting at 1930 hours will use the cross-linked 2-meter W6TRW/440 Rolling Hills repeaters, our 2-meter TAC-1 simplex frequency, our 220 simplex frequency (voice net followed by an NBMES message), the 440 PV-West repeater, and concluding with another NBEMS message on 2-meter simplex TAC-1 All DCS members and members of the South Bay city-affiliated disaster amateur radio groups are encouraged to check in on any or all frequencies.

Due to construction work in the Lomita Station's DCS room we ask all members to wait for an "All Clear" notice soon before going there. Last Monday night we found extensive construction debris and associated dust in the room with plastic drop cloths covering our radio equipment.

A non-DCS activity of possible interest to our members.....the Manhattan Beach 10K race on Saturday, October 5, needs to fill five operator positions for augmenting Manhattan Beach's city amateur radio group along the course. The shift begins at 0700 hours and ends between 0930 and 1000 hours. If you are interested, please email Steve T-101 at [email protected] for more information. As a reminder, DCS uniforms/ID are not to be worn at non-DCS activities but hours served for radio operation may be reported as "Other Hours."

We need your help operating our weekly District nets at 1930 hours or providing our District report on the weekly County net at 1900 hours each Monday. We encourage you to come to the Lomita station or operate from home. Even without good simplex coverage you could do the main net on the crosslinked repeaters from home. Scripts and the net assignments are on the District website. Contact me at [email protected] with any Monday when you can help. The 48 hour participation requirement will again be enforced this year.

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.
