Routine: 06/09/2025 0930 hours To: All Members From: Jerry Kendrick, T-03 Tonight's DCS nets starting at 1930 hours will be on: the W6TRW 2-meter repeater cross-linked with the 440 Rolling Hills repeater, simultaneously with our separate 2-meter TAC-3 simplex frequency; at 1945 hours our 220 simplex frequency (voice net followed by an NBEMS digital message); at approximately 1955 hours on the 440 PV-West repeater, and concluding with another NBEMS digital message on 2-meter TAC-3 simplex. All DCS members and members of the South Bay's city-affiliated disaster amateur radio groups are encouraged to check in. (LMT-01) Routine: 06/09/2025 1025 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, Staff 50 The periodic 220 amateur band interference is continuing. If you experience it, send in a FCC Consumer Complaint and call a new “Stop Buzzer” number of 610-349-0104. Let me know at [email protected]. We have been asked by the FCC to keep a log of these events. I need the time, date, ticket number and whether the interference ceased when you call. A one page description of specific instructions will be sent out separately. (LMT-02) Routine: 06/09/2025 1030 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, Staff 60 We need every District DCS member to periodically help operate part of our Monday night nets from the Lomita Sheriff Station or home to become more confident and knowledgeable of our net procedures. At the Lomita Station you will be working with either Deane, S-50 or Diana, S-60. Using a random selection process here's the operating schedule through August 2025:
(LMT-03) Routine: 06/09/2025 1030 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, Staff 50 We will be operating in the ARRL Field Day from the Lomita Sheriff Station DCS room on Saturday, June 28, from 1330-1660 hours. Any member who doesn't have a ham club or other Field Day site to operate at is welcome and can earn several DCS hours. For District 17 this will be a great test of our HF antenna on 20, 15, and 10-meters--bands usually dormant when we operate on Monday nights. Please contact me if you are interested. (LMT-04) Routine: 06/09/2025 1040 hours To: All Members From: Deane Bouvier, Staff 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-05) Routine: 06/09/2025 1045 hours To: All Members From: Diana Feinberg, Staff 60 Thank you to everyone who attended Saturday's DCS Quarterly Training. As follow-up to several members who've asked...I am currently developing a short, illustrated "easy to use" list of four steps to install NBEMS software on your Windows computer and click a few configuration settings for using NBEMS in acoustic-coupling mode (i.e., speaker and microphone in your radio with the microphone and speaker in your computer). I should have this completed by Wednesday AM and will email it to all. Deane S-50 and I are both glad to help if you have any issues setting up NBEMS. (LMT-06) (End of Messages) |
