Routine: 04/22/2024 1100 hours To: All Members From: Jerry Kendrick, T-03 Tonight's District nets starting at 1930 hours will use the 2-meter W6TRW repeater cross-linked with the 440 Rolling Hills repeater; our 2-meter TAC-3 simplex frequency; our 220 simplex frequency with an NBEMS message following the voice portion; the 440 PV-West repeater; and conclude with another NBEMS message on 2-meter TAC-3. All DCS members and members of the South Bay city-affiliated disaster amateur radio groups are encouraged to check in. (LMT-01) Routine: 04/22/2024 1140 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, Staff 60 The next DCS Quarterly Training via Zoom will be Saturday morning, June 8, during 0830-1030 hours with three subjects presented. More info as the date nears. LMT-02) Routine: 04/22/2024 1145 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, Staff 50 We really need your help with operating our District nets or to provide our District report on the weekly County net. 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. (LMT-03) Routine: 04/22/2024 1150 hours To: All Members rom: Diana Feinberg, Staff 60 If you obtained your ham radio initial license or last license renewal during March-June 2014 you will need to take action very soon to renew your license, including paying the new $35 fee for a 10-year license. Simple-to-follow instructions are on the ARRL website in a freely-accessible page at: https://www.arrl.org/files/file/QST/This%20Month%20in%20QST/2023/10%20october%2023/10%2023%20Somma%20renew%20license%20online.pdf . (LMT-04) Routine: 04/22/2024 1155 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, Staff 50 We hope you can use the 440 PV-West repeater during non-net hours to keep this frequency active. The PV-West owner's other repeater on this frequency at Running Springs above Redlands with a different PL recently went off the air after losing its transmit site. We would like to ensure PV-West's frequency isn't encroached by another organization. (LMT-05) Routine: 04/22/2024 1200 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, Staff 60 After a two-year moratorium on all new antenna permits the City of Rancho Palos Verdes last Thursday published proposed new municipal code chapters covering antennas and antenna structures. Unlike the current code which applied uniformly to all antennas the new code has a separate chapter for commercial wireless sites and another for amateur radio. These will be discussed and voted on at the city's Tuesday, April 23, Planning Commission meeting for later approval by the City Council. An initial reading of the new code chapters suggests there are no changes for amateur radio antennas beyond additional requirements enacted in October 2020, but major changes are looming for commercial antennas (such as a 10-year permit life and a requirement to be at least 200 feet from any residence). To see the proposed code chapters and background info, or to participate in the Planning Commission meeting see: https://rpv.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=5&event_id=2635&meta_id=118460 (LMT-06) (End of Messages) |
