TYPICAL HAMSTER STUPIDITIY

Two ARRL members from California are dead after the vehicle in which they
were riding during a mobile hidden transmitter hunt May 27 went over a
cliff
in rugged terrain near Lake Isabella in Kern County. They were identified
as
Michael G. Obermeier, K6SNE, of Anaheim, and David A. Gordon-Ross, N6IDF,
of
Yucaipa. Obermeier, an ARRL Official Observer in Orange County, was 46.
Gordon-Ross was 35.

"Mike and Dave were some of the best T-hunters in the biz," said Scott
Press, N6SAP, calling both "true assets to this hobby." In his role as an
OO, Obermeier reportedly had participated in the infamous Jack Gerritsen
radio jamming case in the Los Angeles area.

According to media accounts, a Kern County Sheriff's Department
search-and-rescue team located the victims early Monday, May 29.
Obermeier
was driving the 1991 4-wheel-drive Jeep Cherokee that apparently went out
of
control on Cook Peak Road while the pair was proceeding to the next
hidden
transmitter site. After caroming off a rock wall, the vehicle crossed the
road and plunged down a 900-foot cliff. They were reported missing after
failing to check in with T-hunt organizers.

Greg Pitta, KF6DBJ, reports Obermeier and Gordon-Ross were on a half-day
multiple-transmitter T-hunt. "Both K6SNE and N6IDF were expert
transmitter
hunters, each with hundreds of hunts completed, ranking with top scores
in
most," he said.

ARRL Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) Coordinator Joe Moell, K0OV,
knew both men. He notes that Obermeier had suffered a sports-related
spinal
cord injury that left him a paraplegic. "He did all the adaptive work on
his
vehicles, of which he had quite a few that he used over time for RDF,"
Moell
said. Despite his physical limitations, Obermeier also enjoyed foxhunting
from his wheel chair.

Moell says Gordon-Ross had been a proficient mobile T-hunter for many
years.
He took a brief hiatus after his first child was born in April 2005 (his
wife, Melanie, is KF6GWV), but he recently became active again.

According to Moell, the mobile transmitter hunts take place on the fourth
Saturday of each month on 2-meter FM simplex, starting out from a hilltop
in
Rancho Palos Verdes. He says it's not uncommon for the main hidden
transmitter to be hundreds of miles away--175 highway miles in this
instance.

The 147.435 Amateur Radio Repeater System is collecting donations to help
Melanie Gordon-Ross, a stay-at-home mom. It also will donate all proceeds
from its 16th annual 435 Chili Cook-off June 10. Visit the 147.435 Web

STUPIDITIY" on some random use group. I find it appaling you could use
this tragic occasion to try and further your need to feel like a
"somebody" in this world! Michael G. Obermeier, although confined to a
wheel chair for the last 26 years of his life was 100 times the man you
could ever hope to be, (wait a minute, you are not even a man at all
and never will be!)I suggest you just go ahead and complete that
nightly thought you have about stuffing you 357 magnum in your mouth
and finally pulling the ****ing trigger!!!! ( Oh wait another minute we
have already determined you aren't not man enough to even pull that off
you ****ing waste of skin and air!!)

This post you are responding to is a forgery. Look at the headers and you
will see under NNTP-Posting-Host: /G59y4OM1ZP4Y/OFflVwBQ.user.aioe.org
which is a forgery, I don't use aioe.org
My header states that I post through supernews. Un fortunately we have a
couple of trolls with no jobs and even less sense posting and forging
nonsense all day long.

Does this mean I can't cuss your stupid ass out? **** you.
You can kiss my Jewish ass to Hell and back.
What are you gonna do? Come visit me? Dave Heil tried that and I sent him
running for the next county.
You guys talk a big game, but you are afraid to come to my door and talk to
me one on one. What is the matter? You big shots talk a good game, but you
are all afraid of me.
