A N.E.A.R. miss…..

nearteam.jpgYou know, sometimes we come across things that justify other things. The website of the group you are about to read about is *exactly* why Hamsexy exists.

Today, we will be shedding light on N.E.A.R. – the “National Emergency Assistance Radio Team” (Shouldn’t that be N.E.A.R.T.?)

Boy oh boy. Where to start. Their logo is a bad rip-off of the REACT logo, and whoever designed their logo (and designed their website… and whoever writes messages on behalf of the group) has the English skills of a recent immigrant three year old retard with no arms. But I digress…..

Their website is pure comedic gold. It’s so bad I had a really hard time believing that it’s true. But… sadly… it seems to be. If retards like these are what is on the front lines of homeland security, we’re all doomed. Check out this gem from their EOC page… some sort of generic terror alert obviously written by someone’s young child:

The United State Home Land Security Has Issue a Threat Alert For The EastCoast of the United State A Threat Alert for the East Cost Of The U.SThat Inclueds New York Washtion DC The Threat Level has gon from Yellow Alert To a Ornge Alert Please be avised that Check points have ben setup in Bouth of these City and there Will be Street Near The White House and The Captel which will be closed allso Down Town New York Car are Being not aloud in the Wall Street The Public is being ask not to go in to The Wall Street becose of the Havey Security

The leader of this group (who calls himself the “Supreme Commander”) seems to be the one with the superior english skills. He’s posted a few times advertising this group, which can be found here and here. They also offer advice on how to start your very own CERT team.

The group (and the site) appears to have been dormant for some time, but when you read the press release announcing the formation of the group, it’s easy to understand why. Would you put your life in the hands of someone who specializes in “surch & rescut”?

A letter from Wayne Spires KF4BJT

This letter was sent to us via Wayne’s family. Wayne, as you’ll remember, is the ham who staged a sit-in at the top of his radio tower to protest his homeowner’s association.

When I moved here I agreed to become a member of a landowners association which included sharing the cost of maintaining the roads. However, I did not agree to become a member of a homeowner’s association and all the restrictions that go along with it. My bond for title says I am to be a member of a landowner’s association—not a homeowner’s association.

The biggest injustice, I feel, that was done was when the judge ruled that there is no difference between a homeowner’s association and a landowner’s association. (Especially since the homeowner’s association wasn’t formed until after I purchased my land.) I feel the judge made an error in his ruling. He said he didn’t know the difference between a homeowner’s association and a landowner’s association.I feel if he didn’t know the difference then he should not have ruled until he found out. I believe he should withdraw his ruling because the paperwork I was given for a landowner’s association is different from the paperwork members of the homeowner’s association were given.

I believe that there has been fraud, deception and people intentionally misled concerning the River Falls Homeowner’s Association. The way I read the law, they are acting without authority. Plus one man in their association has the power to do what he wants – even if all the rest of the members vote against him. He is putting extreme hardships on my family and knows this and still calls it – in his own words – “progress.”

The homeowner’s association claims that their power comes from amendments to the plat. I have spoken with at least fifteen lawyers and paid two abstract companies to look and the plat and any amendments to it. They all examined the plat and said that there are no restrictions on it! The judge ruled that there are restrictions on the plat. I feel he made an error there also.

My case is still pending; the next part of the trail is set for February 5, 2007.I have no lawyer to represent me at this time and if I lose this case I will more than likely loose my home. My wife and I need help. Please pray for us and let the Lord do his will with us in this matter.

Thank you,

Robert Spires Sr.

No HF net tonight

I will be unable to do net control for the Hamsexy net tonight due to family needs. I also will be out of town next Thursday so there will be no HF net next Thursday either (1/25). If someone would like to pick up the net for the next 2 weeks drop a note or email and I will change this post. Otherwise I hope to see you all Febuary 1st!
