Thanks for checking in.
Since our start, we here at Hamsexy have exposed the strange fetish that some hams seem to have with emergency vehicle lighting. A loyal Hamsexy Observer (HO) gave us the heads up on this story in the great State of Idaho. The Voice of Idaho (VOI), an ARRL sponsored club, posted this gem on their website recently:
Win a Light Bar!
Written by K9NSP
Tuesday, 22 May 2007I’ve donated a (magnetic) Amber Halogen ResponderR II Light Bar (valued at $100) to the VOI, expressly for the purpose of awarding it to the ECT member that accumulates the most points, over the course of the next year, as I’ll outline below.
Luckily, we won’t bore you with the points outline.
So sign up, have fun joining us at public service events, and potentially take home a really nice light bar on June 11th, 2008.
Want to learn more about the light bar I’m giving away? Check it out here:

That’s the light bar that I blinded everyone (myself included) with at the ham fest last year.
It seems that the VOI thinks nothing works better as a motivator to get hams participating with club events than offering a lightbar capable of blinding others. And that terrifies us here at Hamsexy.
It turns out we weren’t the only ones surprised and disgusted by the actions of the three emergency response nerds in Colorado. It got the attention of local news media, and Colorado police.

View the video for the full report of the investigation.
This story was broken on eLightbars, and gained worldwide attention after it was re-posted on sites like this one.
May this serve as a warning to all those who think it’s okay to impersonate police or other emergency personell – even with the best intentions.
No formal net control, but here are the checkins.
