We will again be doing the communications for sosc.org at Cal State Long Beach. If you can help out, let us know.
Repeater Updates
We just swapped out the duplexer, which has stopped the repeater from going in to the feedback loop. A little more tuning to do, and we are working on adding more features such as an internet link.
A spam problem
From KE6TNM Sorry, but comments have been restricted to members and the contact form has been taken offline. Someone has been sending Russian and Porn spam, even though it does not post public, and I don’t speak Russian. If you need to contact me, us my callsign at this domain. When I get a chance I will put in some contact methods that screen out the Adam Henrys.
Special Olympics Summer Games June 8 and 9
Special Olympics Summer Games June 8 and 9
We will again be doing communications at the Special Olympics Summer Games. The types of traffic range from routine supply and information requests to emergency or medical requests. This is good practice for handling tactical messages, a service to the community, and visibility for Amateur Radio. We have been short on volunteers the last few times, so you are needed. Please contact us if you can help.
Torrance Santa Float
We do this with the Torrance Police Officer’s Association. My children Thomas Lidikay KG6HCN, and Jennifer Lidikay KJ6HRW and I have been driving the scout cars long enough that we usually have it under control, but we do like to have company if anyone wants to ride along with us, or occasionally we need relief drivers. We play Christmas songs and play announcements, still in the voice of the club founder, Henry WA6RJA, who was the original “Santa One”
We depart from the Torrance Police station at 4:30pm most nights. Routes 1, 8, and 22 are an hour earlier.
Special Olympics
We need communicators to support operations, and emergencies (hopefully none)
Emergency Response Team Mailing List
In the event of an emergency, we are on the air. The repeaters vantage point on Palos Verdes give it good coverage of the Los Angeles Basin, Catalina (used on the 2007 fire). and down the coast to the south. If you are a licensed Amateur Radio operator and would like to be on our alert list
