Congrats

donut.jpegFriend of the site Rusty WB4BSD has just joined the elite group of Hamsexy members who are also members of the thin, blue line – having just graduated from Police Academy.

Rusty recently left the tightly-constrained monotony of the US Navy for the not-so-tightly constrained monotony of policework.

We wish Rusty and his daughter all the best in their new life – and to tell us lots of good stories about escaped cows and people who done gone through that there stop sign up by the old Peterson place.

Congrats!!

Monster Mobile!!

Earl N4ZFA sent us some photos of the N4OFA VHF/UHF Monster-mobile at the Sevierville TEN-TEC hamfest.

Having an antenna that size takes SERIOUS committment…… That’s all I’ll say.

Hamsexy net 10-11-2006

Hamsexy NetDue to an attack, in which anyone who attempted to perform net control was muted, the net could not be held this week. I was able to accept 5 checkins before everything collapsed:

VE6PWT Rob Calgary, AB
KE4NOY Matt Murfreesboro, TN
W8JUZ Laura Howell, MI
KC8TCQ Keith Napoleon, OH
KC0WFC Justin (no audio)

ADMIN NOTE: This situation has been resolved and closed thanks to some very positive discussions and concessions with the associated parties. In the interests of fostering further good relations in the future, the comments thread in this post have been deleted and locked. As well, the Hamsexy Net will continue next week at the same time and place. Thanks to everyone who offered their support and advice – it was very much appreciated!! — VE3HBD

Hamsexy Net Tonight!~!

The Hamsexy Net is tonight!!

The net will begin at 9pm Eastern time, 6pm Pacific on IRLP Reflector 9008 and Echolink conference *VAN-IRLP*.

Net control will be Joe KD8ATU, who should have been writing this notice, but I’m a nice guy and will give him a pass (this time!).

The theme for the net will be announced at net time.

For those who are lacking access to Echolink or IRLP, the net will be broadcasted on the Warp Radio Network – listen to the stream and participate in the live chat. As well, stick around for the great tunes after the net.

Also… and I will be mentioning this during the net – we want to start a guerrilla campaign to spread the word about the net. If you live local to an IRLP-enabled repeater, put the repeater on node 9008 for the net! Even if you don’t use the repeater to access the net, dial it up! Help spread the word!!

CQ Hamsexy on Mt.Washington

Todd (KB3CGS), Dave (N3EJT), John (KA3LAO), and John’s dog Circe are making a run to the summit of Mt.Washington Sunday.  They’ll be on the air on 144.200ish and 432.100ish from around noon to 4pm.  Bonus points to someone if they can get John’s dog to bark on the air, and get a recording of it.

The Ham Band

frontcover300.jpgThis is an oldie but goodie…. Covert RRN sent us this classic video of THE HAM BAND.

Unfortunatley, it looks like the Ham Band’s website have gone off of the air for good (http://www.hamband.com resolves to nothing), but we were fortunate to find this site advertising their album SEEK YOU.

I don’t think there’s a ham alive who hasn’t seen the Ham Band video – it’s hard to forget.

Watch the video, and enjoy!!

HAMSEXY Net Report October 4th, 2006

I picked up the net tonight and had nothing prepared, as it was not supposed to be my turn in the barrel. The turn out was light tonight, but we had a good little discussion about Skywarn and how effective we feel it may be or not in our area. Laura was finally able to join us on the net and she was a pretty good sport about be the sole representative from the female species. Bob had some way cool sound bytes to share in her honor.

  

The voice of an angel she has……………

  

Anyway, the few of us that were in attendance were;

  

K3BM Bob Laporte, PA

KD8ATU Joe Grand Haven, MI

K4WTF John Greenville, SC (by proxy)

W8JUZ Laura Howell, MI

VE6PWT Robert Calgary, AB

KU4MY Tom Anderson, SC

  

Be sure to come back next Wednesday night at 9:00pm USA ET!

Myspace

Well, I decided to ‘get with the times’ and get Hamsexy.com an account on MySpace, like everyone else in the world…..

 Unfortunatley, it seems that someone already did it!

http://www.myspace.com/hamsexy

We have absolutley no idea who set this up, and I’m flattered that someone decided to be pro-active, but at the same time I’m a little peeved that someone’s claiming to be us without actually *being* us.

Anybody know who this person is?
