RadioActive…

Okay, it’s cars like this that justify Hamsexy’s reason for existing.

This was submitted to us several months ago, but because of our hitaus, we were unable to present it to you until now.

Out of Jupiter, Florida …. We bring you quite possibly the Hamsexiest 1985 Dodge Colt ever to grace our pages.

Southington, CT Hamfest

Ron, our roving Atlantic Coast reporter submitted these photos from the Southington, CT Hamfest, which took place late last month.

He snagged these photos of MCU-2, a whackertruck designed and built by SPARC – the Shore Point Amateur Radio Club.

MCU-2 in all its glory.

A closer look, with lunch.
While we are not against amateur radio clubs building mobile communications units — when constructed with the blessing on the local community and as a bona-fide emergency backup, they do serve a purpose. However, going out of their way to make it look like an official emergency vehicle (nowhere on the vehicle, except for the small door crests, does it indicate that it is affiliated with an amateur radio club), crests the wave of whackerdom. It is a nice build, but…. the whackerchills run deep with this one.
