Visit Hamsexy at Dayton 2006!!

Posted on May 8, 2006 by VE3HBD

That’s right! Despite efforts by some members of the Dayton Executive last year to ban us from this year’s Hamvention, Hamsexy will indeed be making an appearance.

The Hamsexy.com exhibit will be returning to Booth 193 (same location as last year), inside the North Hall (just west of the Hara arena), just north of the main food concession area. We will be offering tee-shirts for sale, as well as some fun give-aways and a chance to meet some of the idiots and freaks who bring you Hamsexy.com. Both myself and Seth N3JFW will be making the trek to Ohio for the fest, and all of us will be providing full coverage of the event, filing updates, photos and videos live from the floor of the convention. Viewing Hamsexy.com will be just like being at the Hara, except without the smell!

We invite one and all to drop by and visit us. We look forward to meeting you!!

Skywarn lightning magnet

Posted on May 3, 2006 by Purple Zero

E-Dog from Grand Rapids, Michigan sent us these photos of a Skywarn truck from Grandville.

Covered with Skywarn stickers and antennae, this truck meets all the criteria for Hamsexy.

I think it’s funny that a truck obviously designed to search out storms is covered with more antennae than an airport control tower – despite urban myth (and a very deceptive episode of The Transformers), cars are NOT lightning proof – especially cars with tall antennae on the roof.

Closeup of the antennae.
What is the grey thing… lightning detector?

Glassmounts on the other side. Why do people think
that glassmounts or magmounts are better alternatives
than NMOs? Don’t be a pussy – drill those holes!!

NET REPORT FOR 5-3-06 – Thanks to KU4MY

Posted on May 3, 2006 by n3jfw

Another fine net tonight everyone. Thanks for all the support and check ins and apologies again to Bryan for leaving him out of the rag chew…… If I knew how much he liked his turn over….. errrr……. on the stump, we would have gotten to him sooner! We started tonight at 02:00 GMT and wrapped it up at 02:37. There were 15 check ins – including myself. Glad Steve, KG4BMK was okay after turning Bambi into a quadriplegic while waiting to check in on the net and Steve said he was glad when the highway patrol showed up to end Bambi’s misery. Also thanks to Steve for his KG4BMK-L (node 293443), “Redneck Link To The South” on 146.460 simplex from Iva, SC, that was linked to *VAN-IRLP* (node 256919) for the net.

WA3KYY – Wannabe Kilocycle Cop or General Prick?

Posted on May 3, 2006 by n3jfw

This afternoon Bill Clark (K3MHZ) and I got lunch. While Bill was heading home, I monitored 146.955 (which is a repeater near me) incase Bill got lost getting out my neighborhood. When Bill got to the main road, he got on the output and let me know he got to the main road o.k. I told Bill that was great and that I would catch him later, since I was talking to my father on the phone.

While Bill is replying to me the repeater comes up with WA3KYY saying “how about some callsigns”. I of course reply on simplex stating “we have 10 minutes”. This prick procedes to attempt to give me grief about courtesy, and how to operate. (btw-the repeater was not in use, and hadn’t been for at least the 8-10 minutes I was downstairs).

I attempted to sign with bill and found the repeater had covered me up. Was WA3KYY using the repeater to interfere with me? I honestly don’t know. I did however get on the repeater and tell KYY that using the repeater to cause malicous interference was illegal, and identified. I then got on simplex and made a second attempt to sign with Bill, calling KYY a prick followed by my callsign.

So, who was the bigger dickhead? Me or WA3KYY?
