The Dayton slideshow is out

Categories: Dayton 2005

As a thank you for everyone who came up and supported us at Dayton 2005, we are please to bring you the OFFICIAL HAMSEXY DAYTON HAMVENTION 2005 SLIDESHOW!!!. It features some of the better photos that we’ve recieved from the Hamvention this year, and is set to some rather appropriate music. Download it, view it and enjoy! You will need a later version of QuickTime to view this (Windows Media Player is clownshoes, yo). You can download the free Quictime palyer it here, if you don’t already have it for some bizarre reason. The file is about 3 megs, so it won’t take that long to download. Enjoy!!

Please be sure to click right here to view the video (Please be a friend and right click/SAVE AS the video instead of viewing it directly from the server.. it’ll save some server load. Thanks!!)

*** NOTE ****

I didn’t notice and ended up using a strange codec to create the above video – only those with macs and running the latest version of Quicktime were able to view it. I re-encoded the file using a diferent codec, so it should work for most people. Sorry for the confusion.

New file click here to view. It’s 15 megs, but it should stream.

Response to our supposed ‘bannination”

Categories: Dayton 2005

Response to our supposed “banning” from Dayton Hamvention has been fast and furious. We’ve gotten a few reports of people sending letters to the Dayton executive. Pending permission from the authors, we’ll re-print these letters here. Look for those on future updates.

As Bryan promised on the Hamsexy Radio News, here’s how to voice your concern with the Dayton executive:

The Chair of Dayton Hamvention is Gary Des Combes N8EMO, and his e-mail address is chair@hamvention.org
The Asst. Chair is Jim Nies Wx8F, and his e-mail address is achair@hamvention.org
The Inside Booths Chair is Jon Thuermer KB8SRQ, and his e-mail address is exhibits@hamvention.org
The Ombudsmen are Ron Morefield, W8ILC and Rubin Meeks W8GUC, and their e-mails are ombudsman@hamvention.org
The Media Chairman is Bill Pasternak WA6ITF and his e-mail address is media@hamvention.org

Feel free to CC other people. Others who have CC’ed us messages have sent letters to local Ohio media, the Dayton Chamber of Commerce, Dayton City Council, local government officials, evem local businesses, letting them know that Dayton stands to lose if they let the opinions and views of one person dictate their policy on who they let put a booth up.

Please, and I cannot stress this enough – be POLITE and PROFESSIONAL in your letters. Nothing will nullify our cause faster than some idiot spouting off a bunch of cuss wods and threats. As well, please CC or BCC us if you choose to write anyone – we will ONLY publish your letter on this site if you give your express permission.

Lets show them that we care!! Write your letter today!!

(edit: Goofed up on some code.. it’s fixed now)

Hamsexy has been BANNED from Dayton

By VE3HBD 21 Comments

Categories: Dayton 2005

We got this e-mail in our Hamsexy mail sack today:

I have had a chance to review the Hamsexy web site on two separate occasions and in my capacity as Local Media Chairman for the Dayton Hamvention I can say with credibility that you or anything resembling Hamsexy is not wanted
back at any future Dayton Hamvention. The profanity that I found on your site and the photographs that you have altered by whatever means to show our participants in such a derogatory fashion is not only undesirable but repulsive as well. Please don’t bother submitting any applications for exhibit booths.

73, Sincerely,
Dave Dextradeur, W1GBA
Local Media Chairman
Dayton Hamvention

It seems that Dave W1GBA doesn’t approve of our site, and is speaking on behalf of the Dayton Hamvention executive in summarily banning us from the 2006 Dayton Hamvention (an event we still intend on attending and setting up a booth).

For the record, the booth was met with INTENSE appreciation and acclaim from almost everyone who came up and paid us a visit. We had many people tell us that the only reason that they came to the hamvention was to see us, and we had people from as far away as Australia say hello and get some of our giveaways for friends back home who asked for them. As well, several members of the ARRL delegation came over to say hi and let us know that they love the site (we have recieved e-mails from several high-ranking members of the ARRL, claiming to be closet fans of this site). Negative feedack was far and few between – in fact, we only had TWO people tell us that they dndi’t approve.

Another troubling part of Mr. Dextrauder’s letter was this allegation: “photographs that you have altered by whatever means to show ourparticipants in such a derogatory fashion alter photographs to demean Dayton Hamvention patrons”. I would like him to point out where we did this…. I would like to also mention that our legal team advises us that accusations such as this is considered libel, and should not be tossed around to iresponsibly, especially when speaking on behalf of an entire organization. Not a threat at all, just an observation. For the recod, the only “altering” we performed on the Dayton 2005 photos was cubing out identifying features, such as faces and callsign nametags.

By the way, the only way we will truly accept an official “ban” from next year’s Hamvention is on official Dayton Hamvention letterhead, signed in ink by a higher ranking member than some communications stooge, delivered via US Mail to our American mailing address. We can provide this if needed.

This story is developing, stay tuned to Hamsexy.com for any late breaking developments.

Another batch of Dayton Photos

Got some more Dayton photos for you…

Alright…. Hail to the Prezz…

Alice the hammy has…. one hump….

TowerHead

The meeting of the radiopack nerds

ICOM’s on the right track using pretty girls to promote their line, but I’m not sure that using underage-looking girls in bathrobes and PJs is really the wisest promotional tool. It’s a little creepy, to tell you the truth. All that’s missing is one of them being indecently impaled by a giant alien tentacle.

Cute ears

Dayton wasn’t that thrilling to everyone….

We’re not making fun of his medical condition, but.. dude…. come on… cover up the piss sack in public.

Again this year, the MCARES whacker bus

Another ARES whacker mobile

The WHACKER TRAILER

Another whacker mobile… a drop off in quality, but still whackerish

Umm… Thanks for coming out.

if I-CORPS is “America’s Corps”, this is “McDonald’s Corps”

If you’ve got any photos you want us to show off, please submit them to us. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos to us – your contributions help make the site what it is.

If you’re only reading the site, you’re missing half the fun. Be sure to visit the HAMSEXY FORUMS!!!

While I was another schmuck unable to make Dayton this year (too far away…), I was able to experience it vicariously through X’s great postings. Thanks dude!

An anonymous donor came by the Hamsexy booth and dropped off a CD full of Dayton 2005 photos for us to publish. Needless to say, it was wall to wall Hamsexy gold, so it’s my honor to present them to you over the next couple of posts. There’s too many to unleash at once, so stay tuned for my second installment.

From what I’ve been told, there are HUNDREDS of Dayton photos currently being sifted through by our contributors and Dayton fireteams, so keep an eye on Hamsexy for what will undoubtedly be an exaustive and entertaining recap of DAYTON HAMVENTION 2005!

Here’s part one:

Action at the Hamsexy Booth…. W0AMY and some Hamsexy field agents

W0AMY and X have some fun at the Hamsexy booth

Nothing says DAYTON like unexplained, spontaneous homoerotic nudity

The Hamsexy Banner, in all it’s glory

A proud new owner of a HAMSEXY WHORE SHIRT!!

Nothing says “Dayton” like… umm… fire extinguishers?

The FBI is letting their entrance requirements down in the wake of 9/11

Ahh… Dayton Beer

A big ole crate of radios

Hey kids…. while I wasn’t able to make Dayton this year (and I’m pissed off about it… hehe), I’m hoping that maybe next year will smile better upon me. From what I’ve been hearing, it sounds like a blast. My Hamsexy hetero life-mate Seth N3JFW is on the ground in Dayton, and sends us some of these photos of the action.

Bill KC9ANQ embraces with the lovely Amy W0AMY, a fan of Hamsexy.

People don’t realize that Dayton isn’t all about radios… there’s a lot of sex that goes on after the lights go out.

No update on Hamsexy is complete without some freak with a radio on his back.

Thanks to everyone who came up to see our booth at the Hamvention – if you’re a new visitor to the site, or have visited us before, thanks for visiting!!

Thanks so much to Batdude for being our Girl Friday in Dayton, and thanks to X for filing daily reports from the Hamvention. Saturday and Sunday are to come, so stay tuned kids!!!
