We are excited to launch our new radio system, LWC Community Radio Service, operating on Channel 15 from the Crow’s Nest on the 3rd floor of the Rec Center. This announcement explains What, Why, and When we are changing and what you need to do to change your radio from channel 7 to channel 15. We will monitor both channels during the transition period.
- Instructions for changing to channel 15 on the Midland Radios T 10, T 51, T 61 and Baofeng radios.
- Guidelines for listening and talking on a two-way radio.
If you do not own a two-way radio, please consider buying a Midland T 51 X-Talker, available at the Lincoln City Bi-Mart and online. Joining LWC’s network of residents who are connected to our radio system, and receiving accurate and current information during emergency situations while staying in your home is central to our community’s goal to encourage all residents to be safe and self-reliant.
Please talk to your Safety Captain if you need assistance with buying or setting up a radio, and email <abradley342@yahoo.com>with your questions and comments.

About Us
Since its inception nearly 20 years ago, the LWC Safety Committee has provided resources and educational opportunities to help residents:
1) develop an Emergency Preparedness (EP) Plan for their household
2) be self-reliant in an emergency
3) be prepared to shelter in place
4) buy a two-way radio, learn to use it, and keep it fully charged so they can receive information via our Community Radio Service
5) stockpile 2-4 weeks of water and non-perishable food, acquire alternative sources of light, heat and sanitation
