Well everyone, it has come and gone again. Dayton 2007. I personally enjoyed myself, and will upload pictures soon. Besides that, everything is back to normal, or at least as normal as they get, at hamsexy.

The topic is what did you get at Dayton, or as last week’s net, why didn’t you get your ass to Dayton.

Random photo submission…

This photo was emailed to me today by a friend of the site.

I think it sums up Dayton PERFECTLY.

Click on the image for a “larger” size… hell, in this case, it’s XXXXXL.

I’ll post more of my own photos later on tonight… enjoy!

Hamvention After Party Report

Dayton Hamvention 2007… Another year has passed and the Hamsexy strike team had yet again descended on the unwashed masses and spread joy and cheer for all to enjoy.

As with all trends the group keeps getting larger and larger every year. So I suppose that would equate us to something in the flesh eating disease category. We spread un mercilessly and take over to infect others. All in all though, when you speak to most members everybody had a great time. There are moments that stick out in my mind that certainly have proven that we can top ourselves each year. Once again we had attended dinner at the Lonestar Steakhouse on Miller Ln, so we would like to thank them for being such good sports to some of our stickering and other antics, and thank them for the gratious acceptance of our request to sing “Happy Birthday” to our very own, Mike Oxlong. Happy Birthday Mike!!

Below are some thumbnails of photos submitted so far, and links to a couple of the current running threads on our forums for the “after party” of Hamvention. See y’all next year!!

Be sure to check back a lot and often for updates as the photos and posts will probably still be floating in over the next few days/weeks.

It’s the “Get your ass to Dayton” Hamsexy Net.

The Following people checked in to the net:

KD8CPP – Tyler
W8JUZ – Laura
KE4NOY – MATT ( our Warp-Radio connection)
KC8TCQ – Keith

The topic was why you aren’t going to Hamvention and the best answer goes to Robert, VE6PWT who is reshingling a roof at his cabin.

The WORST answer goes to my protege, John KB3AWQ who is driving a carload of WACKERS to the Pennsylvania Fire Expo . Again I say, WACKER WACKER WACKER.

To you who can’t come, sorry, hope to see you there soon, and those who are…

WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, there was an emergency alert during the net, click here to hear it !

NEAR-Fest Review

Hosstraders is no more. Welcome to NEAR-Fest. Mr. Mike has done an excellent job of putting together a successful fester at Deerfield, NH in short time. NEAR-Fest totally rocked for the following reasons:

- There was more of a community feel. There were fewer commercial vendors there. You got a sense that people were there for community as well as commerce.

- Much less computer junk. Hosstraders was overrun by computer stuff. I got there at noon on the 4th and there were tables with a very good selection of ham gear. /\/\ HT’s and mobiles, HF rigs, parts and pieces, AM boat anchors. But only four vendors dedicated to computer stuff.

- WA1HLR (beeellch!) was the MC at the door prize drawing.

- Attendance was waaay up. There was a buzz of excitement about this fester.

- Deerfield is a better location and is closer to home.

- NEAR-Fest was much noticeably less hamsexy than Hosstraders. I only counted two wackermobiles and much less BO than the former fester.
Now for the pics!
