Youtube Idiot of the year

I know we only feature amateur radio and whacker related stuff on Hamsexy, but this link was posted in the Hamsexy forums and it deserves the wide recognition of this mental midget.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv6lHdTtc1s

This guy, Youtube user name Wood2WouldNot, aside from being an anti-semite and purveyor of the same, old anti George W. Bush videos we all stopped laughing at in 2004, seems to think that DirecTv is the reason that there are infomericals on his favourite channels at 3am.

He also, in follow up comments in the thread, seems to think that Infomericals, in association with being DirecTV’s fault, is also a Jewish plot to cut off the end of his favourite shows.

That’s all fine and good, but something at this mouthbreather fails to realize is that the channels listed… FX, Oxygen, Lifetime, etc. would be airing infomericals no matter what his television service provider is…. especially since it’s three in the fucking morning. Imagine that – infomercials at 3am. This never happened until DirecTV came into this loser’s home.
Also… why someone who hates dirty Jews as much as this idiot cares that Oxygen and Lifetime are airing infomericals at 3am… I guess he was expecting Golden Girls and got upset.

BZZZZZZT !

While we at Hamsexy tend to poke fun, and even go
out of our way to bring “whackers” to justice, this
piece is for everyones education, to keep you ALIVE.

Face blurred to protect the innocent

This YL is installing her first antenna she made herself,
the antenna looks good, however, take notice of the
house service wires, then the antenna mast, followed
by the Telco/CATV wires.

Notice anything odd ?

She is between the electrical service going in her house,
and the antenna mast.

The chances of her grounding off and getting fried are
a quite good here if she slips or if the mast moves.

Now, think to storm season, those wires bouncing around
could contact the antenna, while she is in her shack and
BZZZZZZZZT.

Again, I am not picking on her for no reason, but to remind
all of us, it only takes a small mistake to become a casualty.

This is Manload thaying theven three !

Classified…?

One of our forum guys posted this link for the perusal of our members:

http://www.brianbell.net/projects/warbarge.htm

barge.jpgThe site features an unremarkable yet strangely over-the-top Caprice setup for some volly firefighter slash stormchaser slash wardriver slash copier repairman he has named “The Warbarge”.

While describing the WARBARGE, he writes: “It does incorporate GPS and video monitoring as well as an alarm system and other security features which are classified and cannot be published.”

Anyone want to speculate what these super secret features are that cannot be published are? Is it a door mounted flamethrower? Is it a highly advanced railgun hidden within the exhaust system? The best suggestion gets a check for a million dollars (posted dated to the year 3000)

New IARU bandplan threatens AM

The following message is n behalf of the AM Forum team at amfone.net, reprinted here as a courtesy and to get their message out.

Please take a few minutes to consider what follows — some concerns a number of us have recently identified that are related to a suggested HF band plan coming from a group of volunteers known as the International Amateur Radio Union. This plan takes effect in January.
I would ask that you endorse and express these concerns yourself in an email to some of the key people in the IARU, some of whom have kindly offered to revise their plan in acknowledgment of the healthy and growing presence of AM activity on HF.

The following is a letter outlining these concerns that you may adapt in your own words, or simply incorporate as written in an email under your signature.
Thank you for taking the time. Amending proposals such as this will help preclude any regulatory moves in the future that could cause problems for AM operations. Achieving positive change will also allow the AM Community to support the IARU’s voluntary plan, which is not possible as it is now written.

Thank you for your consideration.
