Title: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: W1AEX on March 26, 2013, 01:07:34 AM You never know what wisdom will come forth on 75 meter AM. While innocently tuning through the AM Ghetto I heard Tom Vu schooling "The Don" on technique "numba 155" from the Tom Vu seminar on wealth acquisition and the accumulation of "pletty gilrls". (That is not a misspelling.) Use this information wisely...

I've heard plenty of folks over the years from 4, 5 Land, 6 Land, 7 Land and other call areas join in with Tom, Tim, Chuck and others on 75m late at night. It tends to be more of a 'see me, pay attention to me because I'm better than they are' type of deal. If you don't like the on-air activity, by all means - don't take part. The same common sense rule applies to internet threads, believe it or not. The vast majority of folks seem to understand this. Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155...

This kind of 75M fun has been going on for at least 40 years that I can remember. And this session was nothing - no conflicts, no swearing, no insults.... are you kidding? Lighten up. We can talk about modifying DX-100's and our latest gall bladder operation only so long before guys start signing out. Life and ham radio are a big party. Enjoy it while you can. I will always go where there is laughter. Rob, post some of the crazy times you've recorded on 75 to liven this joint up... ;D T Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155...

Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: W1AEX on March 27, 2013, 12:09:13 AM It was just a bit of harmless fun! No rules were broken, call signs were announced every 10 minutes and it was all good. For those who were there, it provoked nothing more than a lot of laughs. Apologies if posting this caused any misunderstanding for those who have never met Mr. Vu! :)

Way better than the new SNL. 73DG Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: W1RC on March 27, 2013, 04:26:31 AM Do you know why most hams leave the hobby? BOREDOM.... The reason so many come to Deerfield is to have fun and a few laughs with old friends. Especially in today's world is this a bad thing? In nearly 50 years licensed I have always believed if you hear something on the air you don't like QSY. That's what the big knob is for.This kind of 75M fun has been going on for at least 40 years that I can remember.

Post by: K5UJ on March 27, 2013, 06:26:04 AM Do you know why most hams leave the hobby? BOREDOM.... I haven't listened to the recording or whatever it is and don't care about it but I'll say that if hams are bored, here are some good reasons why that is: 1. I decided to get me my ham ticket now that there's no CW test and I can memorize the multiple guess answers and keep taking the test until I pass... 2. I got out my credit card and ordered a big old no-tune plastic radio, no tune plastic leenyar, coax cable with the ends crimped on, and one of them all band no-radials needed miracle antennas. 3. I hooked everything up and plugged everything in, and now I'm a regular member of a slopbucket dead-air group, guarding the frequency so no one else uses it while we sit around and listen to dead air. 4. Boy this ham radio stuff--there's nothing to it--all I hear is other credit card hams arguing about which plastic radio is better; I guess I'll get into glass audio or bird watching.

:)TomVu listen on 3843 late nights for laughs. He check in once in while to nip possum. Possum not impressed - no slense of humor. Jlust like some on board. TomVu way cleaner than 90percent of hams, we see. Wish I met him sooner. Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: W2ZE on March 27, 2013, 11:11:14 AM far better to have ham conversations like this:
Hi..Hi..FB OM, the WX here is cloudy and wasn't able to get to the doctors appointment for my follow up on my colonoscopy Hi..Hi...FB the XYL goes to the Doctor next week for her swollen kankles, sure hope the WX is better then, Hi...Hi. Sure do like that new KENYaeCom rig, can't afford it, but might get me one of them Heil mikafones to make the rig sound better like them splattering East coasters Hi... Hi.... And some wonder why I don't get on anymore..... ::) Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: KB2WIG on March 27, 2013, 11:28:45 AM I'd much rather listen to Mr. VU and Mr. Don than cry over the early demise of Rico Suave.
By the way, my follow up colon oscopy is coming up shortly. I'm going to see if the mic cable will reach upstairs so I can keep all informed. klc When I get the 813 rig up and running, I'll be an Am ganstra and squash all of 'em like a bug.

Post by: w3jn on March 27, 2013, 05:17:19 PM Nosir, we can't EVER give anyone the impression that guys can have fun on ham radio.

Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: wd9ive on March 27, 2013, 06:13:28 PM guy's,
maybe i jumped the gun and was too critical. Sounds llke Tom Vu is a regular regional AM thing you boys out east do and enjoy, kind of like Uncle Ed WA3PUN doing Amos and Andy back in the day. Sometimes I just get freaked out when I hear stuff like this. When I listened to the audio clip it just reminded me of 11 meters. I got my start there like many of us did and I worked hard to get my ticket and escape, I probably get over protective of the priviliges I've worked hard for. I completely understand the spirit and good natured fun of theTom Vu thing. Even us "hayseeds" in the midwest like to have fun on the air from time to time. No harm No foul.. keep it up and enjoy, life is short :) 73's Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155...

Was it a tribute video, or was he supposed to be singing? Proof that manikins do come to life! There's an interesting story behind that video. It was made in the former Soviet Union in the early 70's. The song lyrics originally talked of an American Cowboy exhilarated to come home after a long absence. The "Red Heads" didn't like the idea that Americans were happy - and censored it. Thus, the lalala lyrics and Eduard Khil was nicknamed the "Trololo Man." A few years ago it was all the rage and kids were flash mob dancing to it. The Huzman has been known to suddenly sing a great impression of Trololo in public places... :o T ** Al, you'll be singing it for days.... watch... ;) Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: Steve - K4HX on March 27, 2013, 08:11:37 PM No problem. I apologize for coming on so strongly. I completely understand if someone didn't care for the "act" in the recording. Different strokes for different folks. I just don't see why the locale of the "act" was relevant. From what I've seen over the years, once some of the preconceived regionalism is set aside (I admit to falling prey to it), everyone seems a lot more alike than different. That said, I like the differences. If everyone was the same, things really would be boring. ;D

Post by: Todd, KA1KAQ on March 27, 2013, 08:49:31 PM Yep, it's easy to get offended too quickly. When I was first licensed in the early 80s I thought I had to be a certain way and have a disdain for any of that 'funny' stuff. Did the CW thing, upgraded and worked the world on SSB chasing DX until it got boring too. AM saved my interest in radio and all the time/effort I'd put into it.
One of my favorites from back in the day was a distant relative of Tom Vu's, aka Sgt Anderson. Tom introduced him to me at one of the old rainchester events, complete with crew cut. Maybe we'll hear from him again some late evening. ;D The funny thing about the whole CB/11m thing is that it's just like amateur radio: a radio service. Not surprisingly, you have a few floaters, percentage-wise. But if you're going to condemn an entire service by the bad apples, you'd never get on the ham bands either. Listen any night and you'll hear far, far worse than CB on 75 and elsewhere. Not humorous, either. Jamming, name calling, etc etc. Stellar examples in our midst, yet some still feel superior enough to criticize. This is what happens when we dont have any one to enforce rules. Run as much power as you want, Splatter all over the bands, Cuss, play music. Nobody is there to slap you on the wrist. Didn't know you so fond of slapping, Clark. BTW, you left out 'lecture'. Since I've been on an 'old saying' kick this week, here's another: Don't go away mad, just go away. ;) Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155...

Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155... Post by: W1RC on April 01, 2013, 03:53:26 AM I find the Tom Vu routines very funny and don't see that any rules are broken. I haen't heard that any "Pink Slips" we're issued. .
I can tell you that most SWLs don't usually listen to hams because many of the QSOs are pretty boring. However some love to listen to 75 AM because it can be entertaining at times. Speaking of "Tom Vu" I still laugh whenever I hear "Ring Christmas Bells" over the Holiday Seqson because I automatically recall Tom's hilarious version. I think it's archived for posterity on this Forum site somewhere ......... Great stuff! Lighten up.......Tom Vu rocks, 73 MrMike, W1RC Title: Re: Tom Vu schools "The Don" on technique numba 155...
