Got a report from one of our Hamsexy correspondants down in the heart of Dixie, who got this great photo of a van at the Richmond Frostfest in Virginia. The tiny “Emergency Communications” magnetic decal on the ride and the wicked-bad “Storm tracker” decal on the back window are hamsexy enough, but man… what’s with the airhorn? There are two possibilities… Either he put them up there because I guess he thinks it looks cool, or he actually went to the time, trouble, effort and expense of installing a compressor and the plumbing in order to make the air horn work. What does he want to do? Scare the tornado away with his noise? The only thing missing is the requisite lightbar, but who knows what he has sitting on his dashboard.

Is that what I think it is, above the big Skywarn text on the rear window?
“UNITED STATES AIR FORCE”
It’s characters like these that make me just a little embarrased when I tell people that I’m an amateur radio operator. Could it be just paranoia, or is there a stereotype among the general public that us hams that’s are little on the sexy (translate: fruity) side?
-This- is why I don’t have any Skywarn stickers on my car. Heck, I only have a pair of small emergency management stickers, and even those I’m sometimes embarrassed about…
Oh the Air Horns do “IT” for me !
