This week's District 17 net at 1930 hours Monday will again be able to
accommodate any special testing needs of members' equipment, such as
using lower power settings or alternate antennas. We will be using the
W6TRW 2-meter repeater (cross-linked on the 440 Rolling Hills
repeater), 220 simplex, and the 440 PV West repeater. All DCS, HBARA,
NART, PVAN, Redondo Beach city, and TARA members are welcome to check
in as well as the City Radio Officers in our other cities.

We will be operating District nets on December 20 and 27, also enabling
members to test new equipment. The number of check-ins is expected to
be less than usual on those evenings due to holiday travel. As a
result, we will have time to accommodate members' special testing
requests such as using lower power, simplex on a repeater output, or an
alternate antenna. There will be no net on Monday, January 3, the first

Most of the recent LiveScans for our District members have successfully
come back and are now at the Sheriff's volunteer services office. Thank
you for your patience with this process. We still have two more
LiveScans to take care of. The new badges will be distributed on
numerous dates in early-2011 at the EOB and we will have carpools to
help facilitate getting everyone there. You will also be able to drive

2-meters, and 1.25 meters--even at 5-watt power levels. Marina del Rey

In recognition of this week's District 17 DCS net being on the fifth
Monday of the month, we would like all operators to try checking in
using a maximum 5 watts of transmit power. The radios at the
Lomita Sheriff's station will also be operating on reduced power as a
test. This week's net at 1930 hours Monday will use the
2-meter W6TRW repeater, 220 simplex, and the 440 PV-West
repeater. All DCS, PVAN, NART, TARA, and HBARA members are
encouraged to check in using five watts or less.

We are
pleased to report the FCC last Wednesday granted a waiver allowing 17
amateur operators employed at Providence Little Company of Mary Medical
Centers in Torrance and San Pedro to participate in periodic disaster
drills and radio testing.
We greatly thank Captain Anda and Sgt. Rozas of the Lomita Sheriff's
station for facilitating this waiver. As a result, personnel
at Little Company of Mary's Torrance hospital conducted a one-hour test
organized by T-002 last Friday from the hospital's new station using 10
amateur radio frequencies on three bands. Also participating
in the test were T-001 at the Lomita Sheriff's station; T-139 at the
Torrance Police Department; T-014 and T-057 from Rolling Hills Estates
and Rancho Palos Verdes, and several TARA members.

We hope all
members will eventually acquire an earpiece or headset for their HT
radios. These close-to-the ear devices provide substantial
audio improvement over speaker mikes and the HT's own speaker when
operating in noisy situations. All ham operators working at
the Los Angeles Marathon, for example, were strongly urged to use earpieces with
their HTs. As a reminder, if you have a Kenwood HT it is
imperative you use an earpiece or headset specifically wired for
Kenwood radios due to their non-standard plug scheme.

A powerful, but unauthorized, 223 MHz repeater near Santa Barbara /
Santa Maria recently began using District 17's 220 simplex frequency,
especially during late afternoon and evening hours. We have
now filed a complaint with the FCC Official Observer. No
repeaters should be using this simplex frequency and the repeater's CW
ID is not a valid call sign. T-001 and T-002 have done
considerable monitoring, but we would appreciate our members' help as
well. Please let us know of call signs heard and if you are
able to determine this repeater's PL or input frequency.

by the Palos Verdes Library District to participate in monthly disaster
radio test drills with the Lomita Sheriff's station and Palos Verdes
Estates PD EOC. District 17 DCS assisted the Library District
with this waiver request, which covers all drills for the remainder of
2010 . Last November we also provided re-fresher HT radio
training for all operators at the Library District's three locations to
get this District 17-sponsored project back on track. The
