Routine: 11/17/2025 0910 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 There are no District 3/17 nets tonight due to DCS Staff and DCS District Communication Officer meetings. Our nets resume next Monday, November 24, at 1930 hours from the South Los Angeles Sheriff Station where we are also operating the weekly County DCS net at 1900 hours. Our carpool to South LA leaves from the West Torrance area...please advise if you can help us that night. (LMT-01) Routine: 11/17/2025 0930 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Our semi-annual DCS District 3/17 member meeting via Zoom is this Thursday, Nov. 20, during 1930-2030 hours and repeated on Saturday, Nov. 22, during 0830-0930 hours. The sessions will be identical--attend the one that's best for your schedule. Zoom meeting links will be sent later this week. (LMT-02) Routine: 11/17/2025 0945 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 The California Healthcare and Medical statewide exercise in L.A. County this Thursday, November 20, during 0800-1200 hours is structured around two significant earthquakes in the South Bay necessitating partial evacuation of affected hospitals. The Countywide scenario starts with a magnitude 6.3 earthquake along the Newport-Inglewood Fault followed by a magnitude 6.8 earthquake along the Palos Verdes Fault on the Torrance/Palos Verdes Peninsula border. Affected hospitals are required to test their evacuation plans and patient transfer process with sister hospitals or nearby facilities through coordination with the County Medical Alert Center. Our Lomita Station DCS room will be operational for non-medical traffic from amateur radio operators at hospitals in Area G. No patients will actually be transported, this is only a drill. (LMT-03) Routine: 11/17/2025 1000 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 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 (LMT-04) Routine: 11/17/2025 1010 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Thank you to everyone who has helped operate our Monday night nets this year to become more knowledgeable of our net procedures. Here's the operating schedule for the next two weeks:
(LMT-05) Routine: 11/17/2025 1030 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) Routine: 11/17/2025 1045 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 In recent months we've been working with several amateur radio operators in Marina Del Rey yacht clubs to rebuild the DCS unit at Marina Del Rey Station. We now anticipate at least 10 hams will go through the DCS new member process in the months ahead. (LMT-07) (End of Messages) |
