Where's PorkButt
 
Where is the guy who used to call himself PorkButt? That is one person
you would always hear day and night, 7 days a week, on 20m/75m. It
seems like even the very weird people are gone from HF nowawdays. Ham
Radio is dying!

WB2OTK/W2OTK never called himself 'Porkbutt'.


Although I don't dispute the origin of the name, I did hear him in a
conversation once talking about having visited Ruth Hoffman in Florida
and that she needed some tree trimmed. He said, "Porkbutt don't climb
trees."

Those were nearly the exact words. I almost drove off the road when I
heard it. He didn't slip into the vernacular very often, but to say he
"never called himself 'Porkbutt'" is inaccurate.

WB2OTK/W2OTK never called himself 'Porkbutt'. That name was stuck him by Al
Abernathy, and the BARF/Stumpjumper crown on 20 and 75.

Rich turned in his license in 99 as I recall.

I believe he still lurks around this newsgroup. I put out a query a few
weeks ago and he is live and well. I believe he had a misunderstanding with
the FCC over on air procedures. I have a WAV file of the misunderstanding.
Send me an E-Mail and I will send you the file. I agree. Not much exciting
on the band except for the perpetual audio testers on 14.180 Mhz. That is a
good laugh sometimes.

If it smells like Porkbutt, it's porkbutt. 10-4?

Were you one of the people in the group he called "PorkButt's
Minions"? There was a core group of hams that listened to him preach
day and night and their group had that name. It was sort of funny.
Some of the minions were in VE3-land and they were also pretty dumb.
One of them was an older guy that sang alot and seemed a little gay
but there's nothing wrong with that, and there was another one that
was a VA3G-something. Do you know who that was?

That was entertaining radio, and it would be better to have Porkbutt
and the minions on the air than some of the people that are on these
days. Those audio people on 14.180 get boring pretty quick.
