Hamsexy’s new favourite Official Observer is at it again.
Robert Pepper N4NUM, the OO who sent KG4FOY an Advisory regarding an accent-based mispronounciation of one letter of his callsign (it musn’t have been *that* bad, because little Bobby Rat-a-lot knew enough to send the notice to the right person), sent friend of the site K4WTF one for “unknown code or cipher” and something about an address change. Here’s the letter K4WTF sent us:
Hi guys. Got my OO card (one of two promised) from the same tool that cited kg4foy. It’s attached. He cited me for 97.113(a) and 97.21(a)(1). He claimed I used the code “4Q2”. What I actually said was “Phork you too!” What a tool.
The cite for 97.21(a)(1) is complete bullshit. My address of record is accurate. I still own that home. Who the fuck does this asshole think he is? I was staying in an extended-stay hotel the day he cited me. Did he expect me to go out and update ULS with the address of the Extended Stay including my room number? Feel free to post the card and my comments as an addendum to kg4foy’s.
N4NUM is certainly making a name for himself, and is the archetype of everything that’s wrong with Ham Radio these days.
If anyone else gets any advisories by this tool, please send them to us. We need to shame this idiot into submission.
Two Words… Fucking Retard.
I think I may contact the OO coord. for his area.
Might be a good idea. This guy is giving OO’s everywhere a bad name.
Most of the OO’s I know and have talked to spend their time on HF, why is this guy hanging out on repeaters?
Regardless he is a fewl
man, wtf is wrong with him.
He’s need an enema bad.

He already has been, as usual, you are a day late and a dollar short.

Simple, he’s a no code tech.
And I have a question…. who the fuck is Clyde McPhail?
What’s the end message say?
“Ducting happens, but we all still need to act like amateurs.”?
Well, he’s certainly behaving like an amateur.
Clyde is one of our faithful contributors who has been with the site since the beginning.
He has his reasons for not wanting his identity known.
I think these need to be handed out at Dayton this year:

I’ll tell ya why he’s hanging out on repeaters and not on HF: he’s got a technician class license… (oop, just realized KU4MY already covered this – hows’bout I repost anyway?)
Maybe he meant “venting” happens?
Either way, he needs a good boot to the head.
Richard: You, sir, kick ass.
His phone # is [removed]. His name is BOB Pepper. I just called him (woke him and wifey up out of bed) to let him know he’s fucked in the head. I even spoofed the caller-id so it came up as his own phone #. Let’s see him complain about that! LOL

I just got off the phone with him. His name is BOB PEPPER [number removed]. I phoned to let him know that he’s fucked in the head. He hung up on me. I think he was in a bad mood–him and wifey were in bed sleeping 🙁
You know, I wonder if Robert is related to that other oh-so-sassy internet celebrity, Brian Peppers?

Nayuh that’s sum funnee shit rahht thar, ahhh don’t care who u are!!! LOL, excellent! de KU4MY the trailer park cable guy. dah-di-dah
I’m so proud that words just can’t describe it! And to think, this is even going to be on the HamSexy T-Shirt for 2007? Hell Ya!
Oh BTW… 4Q2.

“As seen on TV”
I’m so proud that words just can’t describe it! And to think that it’s going to be on the 2007 HamSexy Dayton shirt even!
4Q2… And U2… and U2!!!

I agree that this OO probably needs to be fired!
However, I kinda chuckle at X9F who seems to
be the coward of the board. It looks as if he
is afraid of the guy. Why not let him see who you
are? Sounds as if you’re all mouth, as long
as you hide you’re identity. If you ‘re gonna
harass the guy, have the courage of your convictions,
otherwise he is a better man than you, as he doesn’t hide who he is when he harasses folks. Think about it.
73 de Ronnie
True dat Ronnie, if you can’t run with the big dogs and be seen, stay the hell on the porch.
Jesus Ache Christ! Can’t I do something cool and get cited for it without someone hijacking the thread?

Obviously not as there seems to be those who are anxious to tell you story for you! ; )
Notices from OO’s are only of value to those making an error and appreciating the correction. Other than that they are worthless. They are not part of FCC enforcement by any means.
However….
Using terms like 4Q2 on a repeater is pretty juvenile. 4Q was one of the numbers I used when I raced motorcycles…at age 14. The bikers got a big laugh out of it but c’mon dudes, not on a repeater. If you get a big thrill by such an activity you really need to either get out more or do phone pranks or something…

Good grief there Mark… Saying “Phork you too” on the air or in person hurts nobody. If you think its juvenile, that’s all fine and dandy. We are having PHUN on the radio.
At least I’m not talking about my prostate!
The matter at hand is that there was no code or cipher used and that there was no need for my to have updated my ULS information to reflect a HOTEL ROOM that I was staying in. N4NUM was just being a grayface fart… Plain and simple.
If anything, it was he who was not being curtous on the air. I had already signed and told the parties I was talking to that I had driven out of range for reliable communications on the repeater when he insisted on calling me on the air.
If you don’t like how we use the spectrum, you don’t have to worry because unless “ducting happens” you’re not going to hear us on 2m all the way up in “Michigan sucks” country.

“The matter at hand is that there was no code or cipher used and that there was no need for my to have updated my ULS information to reflect a HOTEL ROOM that I was staying in. N4NUM was just being a grayface fart… Plain and simple.”
Oh, I totally agree. He is wrong and is doing the OO’s a disservice. Who cares other than for the entertainment?
“Good grief there Mark… Saying “Phork you too” on the air or in person hurts nobody.”
That I do not agree with. It hurts our entire hobby. Remember dude, I have a young (13 now) lady in our family with a license. I also have some friends I know would take exception to that phrase. It’s not a lot of work to be respectful of others on the air. So what if you didn’t break the law? Following Part 97 to the letter will make you the worst amateur radio operator the law will allow.
“At least I’m not talking about my prostrate!”
I am sure we are all thankful for that.
So what’s up with “Michigan sucks” country? There are some beautiful secluded areas here. No one for miles around. Perfect places to hide bodies.
