Brampton Hamfest

Today I went to HAMEX 2007, sponsored by the Peel Amateur Radio Club and the Mississauga Amateur Radio Club in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

 I meant to get there at 9am at opening, but I was delayed and didn’t get to the fest until about 10. By then, the place had been picked clean, and there was nothing left worth buying.

 I met up with a few friends of Hamsexy at the fest, including Rod VE3RTT, Jamie VA3HAX, Rob VE3ESC, Adrian VA3AGF and Tom VE3FIS.

About 90% of the patrons at this year’s fest were at
least 10 years older than the radio set underneath the laptop.
Seriously.

Welcome to the Hamfest, where one of the most popular
tables sold nothing but gun sights, scopes and binoculars.

Nothing says “Hamfest” like the Wheels of Steel

Nothing completes a Hamfest more than overt illegal drug references.

Some random vendor approves!!

Coming soon… some shots from the parking lot.

The FOY Manifesto

Brad posted this earlier.  I thought the hamsexy audience would enjoy it. 

I believe :

-personal liberties should be protected at all cost.
-bureaucrats with bad comb overs don’t belong in peoples private lives.

-in the undeniable right to carry a gun and defend ones self and family,
-main stream pop culture is created by idiots for idiots.
-”reality TV” should be banned, it makes the masses dumb,
-parents should be responsible for children, not the school system,
-the IRS is illegal,
-government is NOT to be trusted at all, even locally,
-our elected officials should fear the wrath of the people,
-you pull your weight or you starve,
-you should be able to spank your kids, it builds character and a sense of right and wrong,
-we will have to fight Islam, they won’t have it any other way, violence is in their beliefs, its either going to be in their back yard or in ours,

-I’m not afraid to offend someone, (SO GO FUCK YOURSELF ALREADY!!)
-if you leave hanging chads, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote,

-political correctness is for those offended by the truth,
-states should make their own choices w/o federal interference,
-illegals should be deported to protect the sovereignty of our country,
-I’m in it for me and my family only, I could care less if you starve,
-NAFTA, CAFTA and China’s “most favored nation status” screwed the American worker,
-no free passes for corporations, I pay, you pay too,
-property taxes prevent you from EVER owning your home,
-the Marines should be deployed to the UN to help them move to France,
-pedophiles should be killed, no exceptions,
-you are solely responsible for your actions and must accept the consequences,

-Bush is a idiot,
-Cheney is corrupt,
-Kennedy is a murderer,
-Kerry committed treason,
-Pelosi is a dumb power hungry cunt,
-the Clintons kill to maintain power,

Caught red handed….

“teh r0f of teh astors” sent us video, from the surveillance system from the TD Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Apparantly in Winnipeg, you can legally use planters as your own personal toilet. It seems that this fellow felt the need to ‘Let the Funk Flow’ – and didn’t even wipe afterwards. That’s a *real* man.

Click to view. I’d use an embedded video editor, but WordPress sucks like that.

Cut lightbar sexy

Tim K8TEK submitted this find on the Hamsexy Forums…. and what a find… (click on image for larger) Tim writes:

I was at a sporting goods store, and parked next to this jem.The lightbar is A Code3 MX7000 with the center speaker section removed, and in its place is a amber strobe with a cigarette lighter cord running thru the passenger side door. The lenses of the poor MX7000 are painted yellow. As you can see from the pictures, the yellow paint is starting to melt off, exposing the red beneath.

Hamsexy net – March 14, 2007

Yet another net is in the history books. The topic for tonight’s net was: do you, or do you intend to, use the recently released Windows Vista operating system? Some people love it, others think it’s a steaming pile of rancid feces (the same, many argue, could be said of its predecessor).

Ten people made their opinions known:

N8FQ Joe (net control)
KD8CPP Tyler
VE3HBD Bryan
KE4NOY Matt
VE6PWT Robert
VA7BCR Dan
VE7WCC Andy
KD8EMM Ryan
KC8ZLK Daniel
VE7XPK Paul
VA7ANC Alex

Funny ARES message

A contact with Dufferin ARES (which is somewhere in Canada), sent us this message, which was sent to all members:

I received a call from the works department today enquiring if I knew of an amateur who owns a blue pickup with three antennas.

Apparently, on Monday of this week during the height of the storm one of the county’s snow ploughs was involved in an accident on Veterans Way located near the new site of Humber College.

The owner of the truck began erecting road closed signs along with cones.

The county is concerned that the only people authorized to erect road closed signs is the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police).

I am sure the owner of the pickup felt he was helping out but if he is an amateur, please remember that our only jurisdiction is in communications.

I advised the county that I did not think this person was an A.R.E.S. member but would ask the membership. If you can assist me, please advise.

Thanks to our anonymous submitter!!
