View Full Version : So...Pat (MHZ)...
What does your wife now think of Dayton - and seeing such a large collection of, errr, unique specimens all in one place?
Mine is the official planner, transportation coordinator and loan arranger. It's her idea to go every year.

Idk about Pat or even Dayton but Pilar wants to go to a hamfest. In fact she is itching to understand what these hamfests I speak of are. When we first met she thought it was a festival of ham..lol.

Lol. As I have said before, Pilar does not really understand my fascination with the hobby. After reading many accounts from other hams I would say this is the norm. The good thing is that she still wants to understand what it is that I have a fascination with. She may not have a desire to partake in the events with me but understanding is a good thing. As well is the fact that she has no desire to hinder my practice or enjoyment of the hobby.

She HATES HAM RADIO even more than ever now! But it keeps her Husband out of bars and Crack houses!
I had her follow me around the swapmeet abit Friday morning. Every time I stopped to just LOOK at something, she quickly told me I DIDN'T NEED IT!!! She soon saw her anger and pleadings did no good and stuff start to be added to the cart. She stormed off when I put the Heathkit SB-230 in the cart and paid the seller $200 for it. Just tested that today and NO, it doesn't WORK! So she refused to go out to the swapmeet on Sat and just sat in the booth while I toured out there. My tour didn't last for long as I knew the longer she sat, the MADDER she would get. So I came back to the booth with an EMPTY CART. But the damage was already done and the trunk was already full of THINGS THAT DON'T WORK.
She just HATES Swapmeets. FURIOUS about them!!! We are TOO POOR to eat anywhere but McDonalds, yet I will spend HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON ABSOLUTE JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But she kept her silence on the way home from Dayton and wasn't too crabby. She was MOST ANXIOUS to get home and get this MISERABLE EXPERIENCE OVER WITH!!!! Dayton was NO VACATION for her!
So, needless to say, she won't be coming along next year. She has had QUITE ENOUGH of Dayton!
She will stay home with the Cats!

If only I could convince my wife to make trips to Dayton every 3 - 5 years. She isn't a fan of the hobby I enjoy. I do have friends there as well that aren't hams, but a good excuse to go and see them on "vacation".

Tell her the next hamvention in is the Virgin Islands and you get free Mai Tais and a massage by a very well maintained guy named Raul...then simply take her back to Dayton and say "Sorry honey, i dont know what happened, but im going to get to the bottom of this!! ....right after i go visit the Yaesu booth...you want a soda or something?"
That should hold her for a few until she can find a blunt object.

You dont have enough money to pay me to get me back in Germany. The coldest people on the earth. Even to one another. Nty.
My drummer is German, he and his Canadian wife went back there and had a blast. But another friend of mine, an American and a really nice guy, was treated coldly there like he was a well known pedophile living among them or something. Its probably because you are from the states and the entire civilized (and uncivilized) world hates our empirical, nosey, arrogant guts. This wont change until China really gains some steam and takes the asshole title from us, our people humble themselves a little more and we close some overseas bases and quit starting militaristic shit with everyone. But, as we all know, gaining one-on-one respect with citizens around the world is stupid, not neccessary or profitable...so who cares. Well, one of these days folks will care and this will change, until then...vacation in Vermont, just dont tell them where you are from.
By the way, my drummer has the same impression of the Swiss...who would have thought, right?

Ah, not all the Germans are that way. Once they start to know you, they usually go out of their way to be nice to you. Especially if a German neighbor or landlord finds out you are an American Serviceman. They usually will let you know if someone doesn't belong in the neighborhood that is there as an example.

You live there, so i have to take your word for it. The German people i have met who came here have all been great, and ill be honest, i really want to go there. My boss is trying to get us on some big festival over near Hamburg. Im just going on what ive been told, and my limited experience.
We were one day from getting on a plane to India when the gig fell through due to a Visa mixup at the consulates office...knowing what i know about that culture based on how they act here, i was seriously mentally preparing myself for that one!

There's more typical about him than you think. He just doesn't want to admit it yet.
I figured.
But then again, he is back on the island, so im guessing some things were discussed in private between he and the admin and a second chance was given on grounds not discussed publicly...so im willing to let Burt speak his mind until further notice. Benefit of the doubt and all.

However, since a smart-ass response (no matter how big a straight line you feed me) might be mis-interpreted by you, based on recent past experience, as a personal attack... to say nothing of an honest response... nah, you don't really want to know what I think.

A comment on my video:
You most likely did not mean for this to be humorous, but some parts are (hi hi), sorry just had to throw that in.
BUT you definitely speak the truth, especially contest, they take it so serious it's unbelievable.
And you are right about the "FAT" ham, at the swap meets, some can barely walk.

One more thing, you forgot to mention how many hams DO NOT know how to say their call phonetically, they make up the dumbest words for a letter, some of which can be confusing.

I hear that they're running a George Leroy Tirebiter marathon this weekend. Been quite a while since I've seen High School Madness or Parallel Hell.
Well, Burt, one of my YouTube videos alone has more hits (52,000+) than all yours put together.
Yeah, I know, that's a meaningless statistic but it's about as valid as you quoting two comments that happen to agree with your point of view while ignoring the ones that don't.

I am impressed by your views, most hams barely get above 100. About half of my 1000s of comments agree with me
