Amber Alert Information
Our repeater is now set up to be an Amber Alert station. We are providing this service to the community to improve it and to help any missing kids that we can. This service has been approved by the FCC and all local law enforcement agencies.
Here’s how it will work. When an Amber Alert is posted for the Southern California area or an abducted child is believed to be headed this way, then an announcement will be made at 6:00 pm each evening on the repeater or more frequently if the situations warrants. The announcement will give a description of the child and perpetrator’s vehicle. We ask that you write down this information on a pad of paper in your car. Keep an eye out and if you should spot the child or the vehicle call the police or Lowell (KG6AJF) at (818) 240-3068 or (818) 243-8672. Lowell will notify the police immediately. Do NOT attempt to stop the perpetrator yourself! Your job should be to observe and report to the police. When the missing child is recovered, then Lowell will delete the alert.
In the future, our club will be involved in fingerprinting children and filling out Amber cards for both parent and child. We would appreciate any assistance you could give us with this process. If we can save just one child, it will all be worth it. If you have any questions, contact Lowell (the Amber Alert Southern California Region 2 manager) at (818) 243-8672 or mostyn1@juno.com
