This week's DCS district net from the Lomita Sheriff's station
at 1930 hours Monday is our final net during 2011. We will use our
2-meter repeater (W6TRW) cross-linked with the 440 Rolling Hills
repeater, 2-meter alternate simplex #1 frequency, 220 simplex, and the
440 PV-West repeater. All DCS, HBARA, NART, PVAN, Redondo city, and
TARA members are welcome to check in, as are city radio officers of
other cities. The first DCS district net in 2012 will be on Monday,

The Lomita Sheriff station's Narcotics office was recently moved
into our DCS radio room due to space constraints at the station. Until
further notice we will be sharing the DCS room with deputies assigned
to Narcotics but we are not precluded from operating the radios during
drills or other events. Please ensure the room door is locked if you
are the last person to leave and respect the confidentiality of the
Narcotics unit's computer, file cabinet, and visible or audible
information.

As we conclude 2011 and take a break for the holidays, I
would
like to thank all District 17 members for their DCS service and
commitment to amateur radio disaster communication. We don't know when
a major disaster will strike next but in 2011 we made great strides in
training and preparation. We'll continue this training into 2012 for
DCS members to be prepared when emergency communication needs arise. I
wish all members a wonderful holiday season and thank you again for
your volunteer work serving our cities and county.

To: All District 17 DCS
Members
I hope you will be available for a unique opportunity to provide
traffic and parking control in a mutual-assistance situation next
weekend--and be a part of history at the same time.
Members from our DCS district have been requested to work with the
Torrance Police Department and its TARA amateur radio operators at
Torrance's November 6th "Lights, Camera, Action" kick-off event at
Wilson Park for the city's centennial celebration. (Wilson Park is
located along Crenshaw Blvd. just north of Sepulveda Blvd.) As noted in
the attached PDF, Torrance residents gathered at the park will point
Pelican flashlights into the sky to spell "Torrance 1912-2012" in
lights while official photographs are taken from the Goodyear blimp
above.
DCS members and TARA operators not involved in other event aspects are
needed from 1400 to 1900 hours at entrances to and inside four separate
parking areas for event attendees. Please note that Torrance Police
Department officers will direct traffic on streets. The Torrance PD and
its TARA organization will be in command at this event--DCS has been
asked to provide additional resources. You will need a 220 MHz-capable
radio, a flashlight, and a safety vest. I have an extra 220 Mhz HT and
safety vest I will be glad to loan.
Please advise Chuck Galbasin, T-139, at [email protected]
(with a cc: to me at [email protected])
if you are able to work at Torrance's "Lights, Camera, Action" event
next Sunday. Additional information to follow.
This is a unique situation for all of us to gain experience operating
in a mutual-assistance environment. Deane Bouvier, T-02, and I will
both be there and hope to see many of you then.
This week's District 17 DCS net at 1930 hours Monday will use our
2-meter repeater (W6TRW), 2-meter alternate simplex #1 frequency, 220

Please participate in our rehearsal drill for October's Great ShakeOut
at 1930 hours this Monday. As discussed at District meetings, during a
major disaster District 17 members are to listen on our 2-meter
repeater or its 440 cross-link and check in with their "status" (i.e.,
approximate location and situation). Message traffic between City EOCs
and the Lomita Sheriff's station will use our 220 MHz simplex
frequency. District members should pass messages during this drill
using our 2-meter alternate simplex frequency Number One. Ask for a
relay if necessary. Some members will be emailed a message to transmit
over the air to the Lomita station during the drill; other members may
create their own message to the Lomita station and some will be asked
to copy messages from the Sheriff's station. Please use the phrase
"This is a drill" at the end of any message or status report you send.
DCS message forms are available on our district website,

As
mentioned in this week's District messages, the Sheriff's Department is
making its personalized emergency "dog tags" available free of charge
for DCS members who did not request these in Fall 2010. If you already
have these tags please do not ask for a second set. We are still
holding tags for a few members who were not at our District meetings
last month and we'll find a way to get their tags to them. Exception:
If you already have tags and a new medical condition has arisen we can
try submitting a new "Medical" tag for you. The dog tags are not
available to those with 800-series tactical calls.
These metal
tags--the same as worn by Sheriff's personnel--are made on a machine
the Sheriff's Department owns. The tags also come with a metal neck
chain and rubberized banding that may be used to cover the edges.
Please see the attached "Emergency Dog Tag Project" PDF sheet for
photos of these tags.
This free offer is voluntary--DCS members are not required to obtain
these tags. But these tags might save your life or enable notifying
your relatives sooner if you have a serious medical emergency.
There are actually two emergency "dog tags" available to DCS members: a
General
information tag (also known as Tag 1) and a Medical information
tag (known as Tag 2). You may order both or just the General
information tag. The 1st and 5th lines of each tag allow for 14
characters due to curved edges of the tags; all the other lines allow
15 characters. Enter your data on the attached Excel sheet and return
it to Deane Bouvier, T-02,
by October 15, 2011,
if you want these tags.
The attached PDF, "Emergency Dog Tag Project", also illustrates that
tags are made exactly as you list words, abbreviations, or numbers. For
example, the sample Medical tag shown misspelled "penicillin" as
"pennicilin" on the input template sheet and the misspelled word is
exactly how it appeared on the tag. The "WHD" after "LASD" in the
illustration refers to the West Hollywood Sheriff's station.
We realize the sensitivity about mentioning medical conditions and
respect the need for confidentiality. To facilitate producing these
tags efficiently, DCS Districts have been sent a spreadsheet template
for compiling all information their members supply. Deane will
coordinate all the data for our District received by October 15. I will
not see any information and Deane will delete the spreadsheet template
from his computer after submitting the data. You still have time to
consult your physician for determining what (if anything) to include on
a Medical tag. (For example, do you know your blood type?)
All tags for
DCS members will be ready by early February 2012 and we will issue
several follow-up reminders before October 15th. While these dog tags
are optional, we truly hope you will consider this valuable free offer
if you do not already have tags. It might greatly help you during a
medical emergency.

carpool to next Saturday's badge exchange, so please advise T-001 if
you can drive several additional members that day. We also have two
carpools, with spaces still available, for the Wednesday evening, March
2, badge exchange. One of the March 2 carpools will leave from Torrance
and the other from the Lomita Sheriff's station.

Please notify T-001 if you are driving to the Wednesday, February 16,
badge exchange and able to take additional District 17 members. We now
have at least one carpool available from the Lomita Sheriff's station
on Saturday morning, February 19, and two carpools (one from Torrance,
one from the Lomita station) on Wednesday evening, March 2. All members
are free to drive on their own to the EOB for the badge exchanges--but
regardless of how you get there, you must wear your DCS uniform if you
have an existing badge.

Correction to the special message regarding the Redondo Superbowl 10K.
The event is Sunday morning Feb 6. The Superbowl is always on a Sunday
of course. The original message inadvertently said Feb 7. Sorry for any

If you have been notified your new DCS badge is ready for pickup the
badge exchange dates at the EOB will resume in February. Our District
will organize carpools to the EOB once these dates are set. There are
no badge exchanges in January due to various scheduling conflicts.

Here is the update on badge renewals for District 17 as of last
Thursday, Dec. 30. New badges are now approved and ready for about a
quarter of our members, specifically: T-061, T-088, T-109, T-120,
T-125, T-151, T-152, T-811 (T-044), and T-812 (T-050). More badges are
expected soon, but exchange dates at the EOB will not resume until
February due to various scheduling conflicts during January. There are
also a few members who had problems getting LiveScans re-done because
of the holiday period or other reasons. We are still committed to
organizing carpools on the badge exchange dates once the latter are
scheduled.
