Hamsexy Net Tonight!!!!

The Hamsexy Net is tonight…. never duplicated, and never imitated!!
The net will begin at 9pm Eastern time, 6pm Pacific on IRLP Reflector 9008 and Echolink conference *VAN-IRLP*.

Net control will be KD8ATU, live from the Michael Moore state.

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.

A Hamfest favourite – the Red Searchlight Porcupine
shows up on Hamsexy about 3 or 4 times a year,
each time with a new addition. This time, it seems
some new strings holding up some antennae. I love
this car.

Hamsexy Net Tonight!!

Thanks to KU4MY taking the net tonight. I had an unexpected training session come up with my new job, so I wasn’t able to be around for net time. Sorry about that! Here’s KU4MY with the net summary:

Fantastic net tonight with my thanks to everyone who took time to check in. As Bryan had something pop up that needed his attention, it was my pleasure to pick it up for him. We kicked it off at 21:00 ET (and as Tom taught me, that’s 01:00 Z (GMT for us over the pond lads)) and, myself included, we had 19 check ins total.

Reflectorama

Phil from Toronto sent us these photos with his letter – I must say it wins the 2006 RELFECTORSEXY award hands down.

Just driving down the street in peace, when suddenly I’m blinded by the 400
reflections of the sun from a vehicle passing me.

I guess he just slapped as many reflectors on as possible…

… Funny, I saw this car a few more times in south Scarborough. Then again,
you can’t really miss him.

This truck is a travesty, and a testament to her owner’s mental illness. I’m not sure what would possess someone to apply so many reflectors on their truck (and do it so BADLY too) – the Subaru Outback and Geo Tracker badges are a nice touch too – even Tweety Bird is saying “I thawt I thaw a thitty twuck”.

A disaster through and through. If there isn’t a law, there should be. Thanks Phil!

Not sure what A-Z Driver it supposed to mean in this context, but Bryan VE3HBD tells me that, in Ontario, a Class A license allows one to drive a transport truck – like a CDL (The Z is an airbrake endorsement). So maybe the guy is proud that he is a transport truck driver… or maybe he’s just a trucker wannabe?

Thanx Lonestar Steakhouse!!

A special Hamsexy Thank You deservingly goes out to the management and staff of the Lonestar Steakhouse on Miller Ln in Dayton Ohio. They took on 30 to 40 Hamsexy (and Batlabs) crew over 2 nights without hesitation, and then rolled with our wide range of personalities like they were one of us.

Thanks again to John, Sarah, Mandy and the rest of the Lonestar crew for providing a comfortable venue and good food for all of us Hamsexuals.
