Routine: 10/19/2026 0905 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 There are no District 3/17 DCS nets tonight as Staff 50 and I will be in the monthly DCS staff meeting. Please check into the Countywide DCS Tuesday noon net on K6CPT-1 during 1130-1300 hours to earn hourly credit and report that time during our next District net on Monday, October 26. (LMT-01) Routine: 10/19/2026 0925 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 Thank you to our DCS members, city radio group members, and area hospital communicators who checked in (or attempted to) during last Thursday's Great California ShakeOut. Some great lessons were learned, especially that others will be on our simplex frequencies during daytime hours vs. on Monday nights when the frequencies seem to always be clear. Also vital: knowing a 5-watt handheld radio could have challenges operating in simplex mode depending on one's location. (LMT-02) Routine: 10/19/2026 0930 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 We are now staffed for operating at South L.A. Station next Monday night, Oct. 26. In addition to the repeater frequencies we use please check in on our simplex frequencies then to test your signal paths to/from the South L.A. Station. (LMT-03) Routine: 10/19/2026 0935 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 We encourage members 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: 10/19/2026 0950 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, S-50 The recent 440 ham band interference from a military radar continues on an intermittent basis affecting amateur operators in much of the L.A. Basin. Please let me know if you encounter such interference on any 440 repeater and the time(s) of day this happened. As mentioned, amateur radio is a secondary user on the 440 ham band with the U.S. military having primary rights. (LMT-05) Routine: 10/12/2026 1020 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, S-60 The City of Rolling Hills Estates invited Lomita/South Los Angeles DCS to exhibit again at the four-city 2026 Prepared Peninsula Expo on Sunday, Oct. 25, at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (Rolling Hills Estates) alongside the Farmers Market. Please advise if you can help staff our exhibit...set-up is from 0830-1000 hours and the Expo runs from 1000 to 1300 hours. Partial shifts are available. (LMT-06) (End of Messages) |
