Well, well, well,,,,apears a hammie in Washington was funnin' around a
bit too much,,,this doofus that had no self-control used the US postal
service, internet, AND the phone company to "harass" another hammie who
got the best of him on the air and on the internet...
,,,,,lets see what the feds called it,,,,,"using facilities of commerce
for interstate stalking".
He was sentenced to ten years in prison. (multi-counts from several
years of harassment)
His "victim" saved everything, copies of internet threats, tape
recordings, copies of posts, and kept impeccable records of the
harassments and numerous threats over the last several years. Great
thing about usenet,,you can't take it back.

If it is accurate and, yes, it has happened before, then he got what he
deserved, "hammie, CBer, or whomever.

Whatever mistakes he made, Twist, number one was to use the US postal
service. You ain't dealin' with the FCC there. They have *no* sense of
humor whatever.

How well I remember spring break in Fla. Well actually I don't, all I
remember is alot of drinking, alot of hot looking babes.

One club right on the beach, I believe it was in the Ft. Meyers area,
that to get in you of course had to be old enough to drink, but also
wearing beach attire, and once you got past the age check point, you
were walking around in beer foam up to your neck. What was cool about
that was the girls once under the cover of the foam would remove thir
bikini's, made for some fun dancing heheh.

One of the girls from the local Red Cross office just came back from
Fla, she went down to visit her daughter and son-in-law who are both
Sgt's in the Air Force. Of course she came back just in time for the
cold and snow up here.

I told her, if she'd have brought me back a beach bunny like I asked,
the weather would have been nice, but since all she brought me was a
coffee cup, she came back to nasty weather hehehe.

Oh, spring break on S. Padres Is. is a blast too

Who
else thinks one needs thousands of watts to be heard on the bowl from
the water? Anyone?

you need thousands of watts on channel 6 NO MATTER where you are if you
actually want to be consistently talking and taking out mud ducks. sure anybody
can sit out there on the water or anywhere else and yell there handle between
keys all day and get heard every once in a while and if your lucky enough
somebody on the other end of dx land may even confuse you for the real deal but
to be the real deal sheer rf power is needed. you sir are not the only one
living by water..........

Ahhhh...this I grant you,,,,,your use of the term "consistently" is what
constitutes the difference.
I get on the bowl once per week......I do NOT use thousands of watts
from the water and I damn sure don't need thousands, even hundreds of
watts to make a contact,,,,sure,,,there have been times when I couldn't
get through,,,,,but keep repeating the same number or handle (those are
the rules, I didn't make them) enough, and if you're being heard,
someone is going to let you know it, even if it's only to get you to
shut the hell up,,,no doubt about it, I have been victim to this,,I
can't ghetto talk and I don't try to talk any other way than what the
good Lord give me, and lemme tell ya'...when some of them boys hear a
white boy in their receive, and that's all they hear,,,,(thanks to mama
nature FIRST, output and antenna second) they will reply. In fact, every
time I have been on for the past month or so, it's been heavy Texas. In
fact, Texas has been the norm everytime I go out in the morning,,why the
hell you think "GW" is bleeding from the gums so frequently? Shux..,this
past week I was sitting on the RAMP talking to WitchDoctor in Beaumont
(sp)and he said I was raping his receive.,,then there was 187, Mr Audio,
Smooth Operator, Mr. Bodine,,,,,,,can't remember right off the bat who
else,






sure anybody can sit out there on the water or

anywhere else and yell there handle between

keys all day and get heard every once in a

while




I didn't design the rules,,,,just play by them. I'm not into long
conversations,,,I'm into the hit and run,,,although the round tables and
SSB is my exception.



and if your lucky enough somebody on

the other end of dx land may even confuse

you for the real deal




Nah. So far, I'm the only "Twisted", unless of course, my fan club takes
to the air like they do in here with my choice of identity. Emulating a
thing of beauty, and all that jazz. Although I have, for some reason,
confused some and been called "Mister Twisted" a few times. I changed my
mic battery and it hasn't happened since.




but to be the real deal

sheer rf power is needed. you sir are not the

only one living by water..........






Nope,,but I'm in a very small contingency of those who are out ON the
water talking DX on the bowl,,,,,,and letmetellyouthis,,,,,,,I don;t
know what you run, and I ain't gonna ask...but, hypothetically, if you
are blowing 1000 watts on land,,and take that 1000 watts out to
sea,,,,,,,,,,,,,you know what? Big difference. Major difference. HUGE
diffference. MEGA difference. You know who the military radio
communications officer in this group is,,,,email him and ask him if what
I am saying is not the absolute gospel concerning AM voice transmission
from the water. I've even talked barefoot on 6,,at 4 AM EST from the
shelf that leads into the middle grounds (sometimes called "The
Shallows") between us. C'mon down. Bring your rig. Sometimes believing
is in the eye of the beholder. This is exactly how I was turned on to
the south St. Pete crew...the big man just had to see it for himself.
Now, not only did I add another name to my very short list of kick ass
radio techs,,but am meeting plenty of good folk that I NEVER would have
met if not for channel 6. I had no idea there were so many bad asses in
the bay area. I know about the Orlando Crew, Daytona Crew, and Miami
Crew (RIP), but I had no clue what was going on in my back yard. I do
now. Nope,,I sure as hell ain't no real deal when it comes to the big
boys,,,,I'm just fortunate enough to have found mother nature's sweet
spot,,,and it's soaking wet.
