KB2IXT's Life is Threatened by Unlicensed dark shadow

 KB2IXT announces his life and that of Miss Laura have been threatened. The unlicensed hit man taunts and stalks Freddy on 75.  Hi  Kids, just when you thought 75 meters couldn't get any dumber. Surprise, Surprise.. Gomer has a Surprise.

  Fred announces his life and that of FCC chief enforcer Laura Smith has been threatened and he has alerted all federal law enforcement agencies he can think of on his cell phone. I hope he can muster a government action faster now that drama and
possible Mayhem have surfaced.


First we wonder what the "death-Tales" could be, but why would anyone put out a contract of Freddy, the biggest big ole good Buddy? I wondered that, and after listening I might have an answer.

You see Freddy has been calling the FCC for years about unknown stations "jamming"
his nightly Marconi net. But, even after ten years few if any results have taken place.
One could ask why and ofcourse its not the job of the FCC to DF licensed qrming stations, unless emergency traffic or some other very important function is being served by amateur radio communications. As anyone who listens regularly 3.843 knows no such function is being served.

However, Fred dropped a bomb shell recently claiming he had discovered some alleged jammer had been on disability while also (God forbid) working,
Of course this is none of Fred's business, but we wonder who he is having investigated, since he often claims such personal informations.

We also question why he would jam his rear side into somebody's life at such a personal level, he would call the social security administration, reporting his big discovery.
We conclude this little fascist is out of control and if someone would become very annoyed with him might take personal matters into their own hands.

Freddy never says why somebody, an alleged unlicensed person, would threaten him with bodily harm.

However, knowing his amoral nature and sissy conduct, plus intrusions into the lives of others , we can guess.

Bad OO's who abuse their positions

The Official Observor system although conceived to help the amateur radio service has in its ranks bad apples who abuse their position. One such is transplanted Teaxs Neter WA5LOU.
The following is a report about his movements and activities when in Texas. He wife found a job in Indiana and he is unemployed. Moving to Indiana in August of 2010.

Here is a copy of a

Lou Everett WA5LOU called last Wednesday with the news that his wife had taken a job in Indiana that started today. She has specialized skills and was not able to find the kind of work needed locally and this has forced them to relocate.

Lou was a scheduled speaker at the Saturday 7290 picnic and wanted to hold off any announcements until his leaving was announced there.

I told Lou we expect check ins from Indiana and for him to take the net if the band goes long… I’m sure he would appreciate hearing from you.

Tom Whiteside, N5TW parting comment about WA5LOU

I think some in the 40 meter AM window who have received white cards from WA5LOU, because according to him, they were causing interference to a foolish traffic net on SSB, on 7.290 will raise their eye brows. He needs be called in and questioned about his impartiality in the duty of OO.

How to Kill A Dead and Mindless Ham

   Has it ever seemed to you hams must be some of the most dead out there. After all why would anyone chant CQ CORN TEST, then give a phoney 59 report. Only then to go back to doing the same thing again.
We won't say all hams are Zombies, but it is possible, given their mindless chatter some may well be dead, and unburied.

Here is a primer on how to kill a Zombie, if you need to.

A super HV arc. This should say Danger to The Rangers

          I include this video, because it is just so cool. In old days,
age 16, my 3500 volts pulled some nice arcs, but not like this.
I did however as a kid, love to take a lead pencil and draw a nice blue arc from a 6146, that was producing RF. Its a wonder I survived.. Gwod was with me, good buddy.

This arc is on a 345 KV power grid. The technicans opened the breakers and by golly, got some good plasma off the latches.

                              

The Sunset for Personal Radio, including Amateur radio

Included here, for your reference, is the material from which Amateur radio is depending on to keep it alive and well.

                    
For your suggestion, assume you are a youngster, that wants to shortwave listen. Would you, consider joining Elmar here on 75 meters for a little conversation between feeding the dogs and your next six pack?

For the moment, radio is in the twilight zone, and its not clear what if any excuse it can show for its continued existence.

Happy 4th of July.. and keep that powder dry.                    

Field Day.. CQ.. CQ.. Can You hear Me NOW ?

                                    That Class of Operator You'll Never Hear EXCEPT IN a Contest. They are a unique group of people, mostly too busy to use radio except to win a gold cup and get their call in QST or CQ magazine.  Its dog eat Dog, and QRM is OUR Norm.

                             You cannot be old, hard of hearing and senile

to be a contest operator. It is QRM where you can and push the limits. The real inhuman side is shown, if you attempt foolishly, to give a contester anymore than what he expects and want. You'll get thrown over board as soon as you give the robot a number, section and other foolish info.

The younger folks usually are involved with contests as well as millionaires who run illegal power and multi-operator stations. Of course these stations will all have large yagis if a DX contest.

The QRM is at its sweetest and bitching and complaining at its Nader during contests, because it is a dog eat dog activity.
For myself, I enjoy contests moderately because the old spend farts are forced off the bands during the qrm as norm field day.
