Hamsexy Net Tonight

Posted on April 5, 2006 by VE3HBD

Yes folks… the Hamsexy Net is on tonight!

This is the first time that I’ve been around during net time (I’ve finished up my training seminars and I’ve got mornings free) – so I will be presiding over the Hamsexy Net! Thanks to everyone that have been handling it my stead – I appreciate it guys. We have a standard rotation for nets, it will be posted sometime in the future when it gets finalized.

There are two ways to access the net:

Echolink: *VAN-IRLP*
IRLP: Node 9007

The net will begin at 9pm EDT/6pm PDT sharp (9am Taiwan time – so I will be up early!!) Net control will be me Bryan VE3HBD/BV.

See you all at 9pm!!

Hamsexy in Poland

Posted on April 2, 2006 by VE3HBD

Adam F4DDP sent us some photos of a recent ham radio gathering near Warsaw, Poland.


Group shot!


The pride of Poland – Polish Sausages!!


Adam F4DDP (with XTS3000) and friend examine the scene


The only thing better than Polish sausage – Polish women!


To the rescue… Shoulder Radio Man!!


Drunk ham randomly kissing people. The looks of the men behind him are priceless…. disgust…. or… envy?


Now THAT’S a radio!

Thanks to Adam F4DDP for the photos and the translations. Adam is currently working on launching Poland’s first digital ham radio repeater – tune into the Hamsexy Forums for more information.

Hamsexy Net Controllers needed

Posted on March 22, 2006 by admin

Due to my not being able to be around for most Hamsexy nets as I am stuck in Taiwan’s 12 hour time zone difference from North America, I need some more people to step forward to do net control for our weekly Wednesday Night net.

If you are interested, please PM me from within the Hamsexy Forums. From there, all net controllers will get access to the private Net Controller message forum, in which you will be assigned a night to do net control.

Again, if you are interested and can do it at least one a month or so, please PM me.

Thanks!

Marshall, Michigan Hamfest

Posted on March 22, 2006 by VE3HBD

Our good friend Scott KC8EMH sent us these photos from the Marshall, Michigan hamfest, held recently.


The Motley Crue


It’s probably too small to see, but the taped sign says “Radio Testing Station”


What is a hamfest without a table of boatanchors?


Lots of room to pour concrete inside to make the boatanchor nice and sturdy….


Removes overhead streetsigns and underground parking pipes with ease and comfort


Look at that stack of folded dipoles… and what does that sign on the luggage ladder say?


Oooh. A “danger, radio wave radiation warning” sign. Not only am I ham, I’m dangerous too! What a great way to foster relations between ham radio and the rest of normal society.


Another case of not wanting to ruin your shitty car by committing to NMO mounts

Thanks!! Keep the submissions coming!!

Wheaton, Illinois hamfest

Posted on March 18, 2006 by VE3HBD

First of all, many apologies to Michael N9OGC. He submitted these photos to us in mid-January, but amidst the hassle of my move to Taiwan his e-mail got lost in the shuffle. I found it today, though – so better late than never, here are N9OGC‘s photos. Sorry, Michael – and thanks for the submission!!

Dear friends – Here are some pictures from the Wheaton Community Radio Amateurs Mid-Winter Hamfest in St. Charles, Illinois. Hope you like them!



What a cold, chilly day….


What the hell is that wooden thing? Any ideas?


A waste of a pickup – with lousy antenna placement to boot.


It doesn’t matter what the car – long HF antennae tied down NEVER looks good.


How to look like both a whacker and a suburban soccer dad at exactly the same time


It’s not Hamsexy.com unless we include at least ONE whacker light


How to ruin a perfectly good truck in exactly 4 antennae


Tied down or not, HF antennae on cars NEVER look good. All that’s missing is one of those old VW bugs with that gay key sticking out of the roof.

Thanks again for the submission. Keep ’em coming!!
