Tin-fur gud buddy, Bam-Bam got your back!

You ain't-a gonna believe this video's. These hillbilly's are real proud of their accomplishments.

You're gonna love the matching custom paint job on pickup and trailer.
Enjoy! "Rubber Duck."

Never mind the towers disassemble in 8-10 ft. sections pretty easily. Glad nobody got killed so far. :face-icon-small-sho

thanks fo rthe laughs!! that was great!!


The fireworks get going on the third to the last video
 
:eek: All that radio gear is worth way more than the damn car!
I see a Icom-706MK-II-G to the right of the instrument cluster. Thats about $900 (on sale-what I paid for mine) Garmin 3-Plus GPS. Mine was $325 when I bought it in 2000. Etc.

Got be some kind of joke. Cops would write an "obstructed vision' ticket. And what holds all that stuff in place on the dash?

The guy has some kind of a complex, or what? :rolleyes:
 
Hey MULE, where did you find that picture...

The license plate is partially blurred out, but the state name on top looks like letter "M".....something. Mississippi, Missouri, Minnesota.


Thinking more about it that is a mobile Intermodulation Distortion Interference factory on wheels. LOL .
A lot of redundant radio's.

Also passenger side shows a ICOM-2A rack mounted portable. Thumb-wheel freq. synthesized. Built Circa 1980-81. I have one, and still works. Only feature is a DTMF keypad."Autopatch" was a big deal back then, pre-cellular.

Ever gone to a "Ham Fest" radio swap meet? With some of the weirdo's that show up there, I can see that type of individual driving something like that.:eek:
 
It's a missouri plate... was taken at the dayton hamfest. My favorites are the guys that put the huge yagis on rotors on the luggage rack on their minivans... :eek:

hamfests really are the best places to see the dorkiest of the dorky :P

So does that mean all hams are dorks? Dunno, I if you and I fit that mold. Snowmobile? Ham Radio? OMG.

Dayton hamfest... never been there but would like to go. That might explain a lot. Maybe the owner just added a few more radio's, and magmount antennas to an already well stocked car for the photo.
I've seen some cars around "Murder-apolis" (Minneapolis) almost that bad.

Now, the directional Yagi on a roof I can almost understand. Would be handy for hidden transmitter "fox"hunts. But doppler-scan array's work much better.
Run what you brung, I guess.

I'm reminded that as a college soph myself, 1961,:face-icon-small-sho
in a smaller town in western Wisconsin, we had a very active radio club on campus, with state of the art HF station, etc. BUT we also had fox hunts as a contest.

I rmbr myself standing up thru the sunroof of a VW-bug holding a 3ft diameter directional loop as we zipped up/down local streets. The receiver we were using was a Korean war era vacuum tube, dynamotor powered, tank radio converted as a class project to operate on 10Meters. One guy driving, another watching signal strength levels on the Rx.

So there I was with my upper body up thru the sunroof of the VW twisting the loop antenna back/forth in the middle of the main intersection in town, early one nice springtime evening, with a lot of passers-by staring. :D "Oh, just those crazy college kids again." LOL.

That night our team wasn't the first to find the hidden Tx, but had driven by the location at least twice before. In was cleverly hidden inside a hay stack in a field just outside city limits..

Somewhere on one of my 'puters I have a photo of our college ham station, with me at the controls. If I find it I'll post it.

I'm just a VHF/UHF whore... HF rigs are cost-prohibitive to me at this time with my current habit of wrecking snowmobiles :) One of these days i'll have an 857d of my own though. Maybe an FTM10 on my sled too :D
