The pictures look like a line up of mug shots from "Britains Most Wanted". :)
Typical cross section though, two oldies, a cross dresser, and the bloke who insists on always wearing a hat or badge with his call sign on! ;)
Like every rally really.

Yes, I have to agree... :lol: and FFS sums it up for me too.

To add insult to injury, some of the 'advice' he's giving out is just plain bollox, although I have to admit I didn't (couldn't) watch the whole thing.

I've seen a lot of hams wearing hats with their callsign emblazoned on it, but I think the bloke in this video is the first I've seen with his locator square on it. Reminds me a bit of Paddington Bear, and his 'From Darkest Peru' label. Maybe it's in case he gets lost..."Please look after this 2E1"... :D
Cheers,
Iain.

I have long gone past the disgust stage, it just truly saddens me these days!
Not the hobby I first joined that's for sure.
