The Ham Band is Andrew (G3WZZ/OZ1XJ/OZ5E), his wife Lissa and a group of Nashville session musicians. All the songs are about amateur radio and the booklet which comes with the “Seek You” CD tells the whole story of contests, dx-peditions, antennas etc.
The Ham Band has just finished their new song/video which describes the whole process of building a modern amateur radio station and at the same time enables the listener/viewer to learn Morse code – yes all the letters and numbers are in there! The video lasts about 20 minutes and there are 19 musicians playing in three different musical styles (French Musette, Viennese Waltz and German Oompah). The music changes key 24 times which means that this musical work may get into the Guinness Book of World Records!
You can view the first quarter (about 5 minutes) of the video for free at www.hamband.com
Duration : 0:4:40

Because you MUST use them on the radio, it’s the law in every country. Besides the amount of study we have invested in our licenses means that we are proud of our callsigns and want to use them everywhere. They end up being part of our name only we ‘earned’ it. Sort of like someone who has went to collage and now has ‘doctor’ in their name or extra letters after it. I don’t use my call here but it can be easily found by just reading my homepage.

A well thought out video for a good song. The camera platform is set upon a cherry picker (hydraulic self propelled extendable boom) of which the shadow is visible bottom left of picture from 30 seconds onwards.
As for harnesses, Lissa has the most obvious harness and lanyard on show and Andrew’s lanyard can just be seen.
Hope they do something like this again, very well done to one and all.

Very well produced, I think the camerman deserves extra praise, was he using a jet pack?

On the other hand, letting the harnesses show a little would be a good subtle message on the subject.

Way back in 1894, a little girl named Madeline Crothe was skipping through the woods when a mysterious man in black snatched her. He brought her to his house, tourtered her, and starved her to death. Send this to 6 videos in the next 30 min. and you will be safe, but if you don’t… at approximately 1: 34 tonight you will wake up to see an aneorexic child holding a bloodied up knife and she will kill you

The thing to look …
The thing to look for is where their clothes are pulled up near their waists. They also are ‘hugging’ the tower so that the belts don’t show. If they had openly showed the belts that would remove some of the ‘thrill’ of the video.
Hams that climb towers without safety harnesses won’t be hams LONG!!!
