There are no District nets this evening (July 20) due to DCS staff meetings which Deane S-50 and I will be at. Our nets return next Monday, July 27, at 1930 hours on our usual frequencies. Please check in on the County DCS Tuesday noon net tomorrow from 1130-1300 hours for an hour of credit if your schedule allows.

The Rancho Palos Verdes PVAN main repeater on 447.120 MHz has returned to normal operation after a technical check late last week. Additionally, if you use the Palos Verdes Estates NART group's Bayview repeater on 447.800 MHz please remember it is a Narrowband repeater (i.e., a 12.5 kHz channel width, not 25.0 kHz like most ham repeaters). Make sure you know how to set your radio to Narrow FM if you use W6PVE.

Caos Capital filed FCC applications for experimental licenses in the 420-450 MHz ham band. The application for Yuma AZ was approved on May 27. Proposed transmit locations SoCal at Hermosa Beach, Hawthorne, El Segundo, and Desert Center in Riverside County are pending. An application for use at the U.S. Army's Ft. Irwin in the High Desert was approved to use 420-440 MHz during the month of July 2026. Experimental licenses which must operate on a non-interference basis with licensed operators. Please report any interference experienced and file an FCC consumer complaint.

All members are again 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.

We need every member to periodically operate a portion of our Monday night nets either at the Lomita Sheriff Station or from home. Please advise if there's a date that works for you.
