Routine: 05/18/2026 0900 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 There are no District 3/17 Monday night nets tonight or next week on May 25 as Deane, S-50, and I have DCS staff meetings this evening and the following Monday is Memorial Day. Our Monday night nets resume June 1 at 1930 hours on our usual frequencies. If you wish to otherwise earn DCS hours please check into the Countywide DCS Tuesday noon nets on K6CPT-1 during 1130-1300 hours. (LMT-01) Routine: 05/18/2026 0920 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Our upcoming Districts 3 & 17 semi-annual member meeting via Zoom is this Thursday, May 21, during 1930-2030 hours. Please plan to attend...we'll be covering disaster communication developments in our area and upcoming DCS activities. The Zoom meeting link is being sent separately, with a reminder on Thursday. (LMT-02) Routine: 05/18/2026 0925 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 Caos Capital filed three FCC applications for experimental licenses to transmit 2.7 MHz-wide radar signals at 3 kW ERP, 10 kW peak power, anywhere in the 420-450 MHz ham band, for 6 months from April 15 to October 15. They proposed three transmit locations in L.A. County: Hermosa Beach, Hawthorne, and El Segundo, and one at Desert Center in Riverside County. It is true that the Federal government is primary in the 70cm ham band, but Caos is asking for experimental licenses which must operate on a non-interference basis with licensed operators. We must continue to be vigilant and file FCC consumer complaints when we experience interference; never more important than now. We are aware that ARRL, the national amateur radio association, has made FCC filings to deny the new Caos requests. (LMT-03) Routine: 05/18/2026 0935 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 All members are again 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-04) Routine: 05/18/2026 1000 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 Districts 3/17 plan to operate during the ARRL Field Day from the Lomita Sheriff Station DCS room on Saturday, June 27 during 1100-1700 hours. We will be using the HF bands (80-10 meters), 6-meters, and some 2-meter communication. Field Day also provides a great opportunity for Technician class licensees to get onto the HF bands under the guidance of an operator with a higher-class license. Let me know if you are interested in operating then. (LMT-05) Routine: 05/18/2026 1005 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 We need every member to periodically operate a portion of our Monday night nets either at the Lomita Sheriff Station or from home. Please advise if there's a date in June that works for you. (LMT-06) Routine: 05/18/2026 1015 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 DCS will be deployed during this year's Primary Election Night operations on Tuesday, June 2, at the usual locations. For the Torrance helicopter landing zone from 2000 hours until about 0030 hours June 3 we are currently staffed at the minimum required level and can accommodate one more member. If interested let me know by tonight as the DCS election night roster is being submitted tomorrow. (LMT-07) (End of Messages) |
