This one comes in from friend of Hamsexy, Jake.
“Look close! Is that a 2 meter beam i see?? This is a hams qth i know but wont submit.”
It just goes to show that ham radio can be enjoyed by people of all types; no matter what their QTH may be.
But dude, at least mow the lawn and clean up the busted up BBQ parts! That’s good money in scrap metal… enough to buy a few gallons of paint to slap a coat on that rusty roof.
Continuing to clear up the backlog of messages, we now go to this 89 Buick LeSabre submitted by Scott KC8EMH.
Cobra CB, Icom dual bander and what looks like a uniden scanner. Callsign plates and a magnetic sign…. Thoughts?
It looks like some anonymous Wikinerd on Wikipedia seems to have a problem with our Wikipedia page (which was written by me some time ago, very quickly and just to make sure we were the first to do so). Along with posting a long, whiny diatribe on what is wrong with the article on the discussion page, he also flagged the entry as needing to be cleaned up, and violating Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View policy.
Whoever that guy is, he’s exactly why I hate the people who govern Wikipedia. While it is a great (if flawed) resource, it’s patrolled by these insufferable Wikinerds, who devote their entire lives to Wikipedia, as if they were guardians of some sort of sacred tome.
Anyhow, while I think that it’s pretty easy to toss up a few NPOV banners and complain, I think that our article could use some cleanup to keep the Wikinerds at bay.

Hello Friends…
Sorry for the lack of posts… I am in the midst of training and other job-related nonsense here in the Republic of China (Also known as Chinese Taipei…. also known as Ilha Formosa…. also known as Taiwan….) I will try to update this site as much as I can…
Our submissions have been severely backed up, and I apologize to all who have sent them in but haven’t been posted on the site. It’s my fault, and I’ll submit to your slings and arrows. Anyhow, we got a submission a little while ago from Brad KC0CDG – this car is not new to us, it’s an old favourite to those who have been reading out site for a while… But it’s still great to see old favourites popping up every so often. It looks like the Red Porcupine has sprouted a few extra quills since our last encounter, but it still has it’s trademark FLIR-inspired spotlight on the roof. Brad fills us in:
These photos were taken last Saturday at the hamfest in Collinsville, IL. We’ve seen this car around at different St. Louis area hamfests in the past and finally got some photos of it. You should see the interior! All told, I think we counted 25 antennas. Definitely Hamsexy!
Thanks for the submission Brad!! 10 Taiwanese hookers are on their way to your place.
We 18 of us got together at BD’s Mongolian Barbeque and had a great time. If you missed it, you missed out.
What else can I say?
KD8ATU took net control tonight. Here is his report:
Unfortunately I didn’t take down everyone’s name, or anyone’s QTH. Was
still trying to work all of the bugs out of my simplex link. Anyway:

I am currently sitting in a Starbucks in downtown Tainan City, because my internet crapped out at home. Sigh…
Hopefully it’s up by the time the net rolls around tonight – unfortunatley it can’t be helped. If I am not online by the time the net starts, I would request that someone take it over (if they are so inclined) and let me know how it went. Accept my apologies.
If I *am* online, then the net will go forward!
Thanks to everyone while I try to get my shit straight here – I’ve pretty much adjusted to Taiwan, but working internet issues out is a pain… My landlady has made an arrangement with the guy upstairs to share his internet access in order to save money – but again, it’s on a router. I have no idea of Echolink will even work for me.. but I will try…
Thakns to Jaymz who took the reigns last week… and thanks to everyone who’s been so supportive…
Take care, and zaijian!
