A 40 metre tower ain&#8217;t much to write home about. And the wiring in the radio room (the root cellar under his garage) is atrocious &#8211; repeaters plugged in to power bars plugged in to power bars plugged in to 15 amp outlets fed by 30 year old breakers that trip well before 15 amps. If your equipment acts up, you&#8217;ll have to move his car out of the garage (it&#8217;s parked over the access to the root cellar) and bring a flashlight, otherwise you&#8217;ll trip over the drip pans on the floor that fill up every time it rains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As well, it looks like the Don Valley REACT website has set aside a page just for Hamsexy visitors. In it they once again demand an apology for insulting a Chief somebody. Seeing as though:<\/p>\n<p>1) We published photos that were submitted to us with the faces scratched out<br \/>\n2) Have no real idea who this chief guy is and what photo he is in<br \/>\n3) Aboslutley no one in the photos is identifiable.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have to give Don Valley REACT a <strong>big fuck you<\/strong> in the apology department. If they had just let it go, then poor Chief whatshisface would never have been outed, and his career wouldn\u2019t have been ruined, or something\u2026 I dunno.  As well, it seems that they are starting to specifically target members of Hamsexy in their anger over our articles. Just today, they added this:<\/p>\n<p><em>Comment Jan 03\/07 11:04am: by VE3HBD (aka bryan of hamsexy) that he lives in the area (Brampton?) and has \u201cno clue\u201d shows how much he doesn\u2019t know or pretends not to, or worse yet, has no clue where or how to look and actually helps to prove the point.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To that, <strong>Bryan VE3HBD<\/strong> replies: \u201cI dunno. I\u2019ve never heard of the guy. If that makes me \u2019shows how much he doesn\u2019t know or pretends not to\u2019, then so be it. But I think whoever is in charge of corporate communications for this group needs to be fired and replaced with someone who\u2019s comfortable using the English language.\u201d<br \/>\nThe fact they are trying to personally embarrass members of our site is rather telling &#8211; maybe we should re-post all of the photos on here without the faces blocked out? Or maybe we should start putting names to faces? We\u2019ve consulted our legal team, and even though we have perfectly legal grounds to demand they remove VE3HBDs name and location from their website <strong>(their webteam also needs to perhaps be advised about the laws regarding libel)<\/strong>, we\u2019ve decided not to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>Don Valley REACT should probably remove it from their site, though &#8211; just as a friendly warning. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>We\u2019ll update you on these developments as they progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that the subject of Don Valley REACT has really stirred things up.
