"Naturalists" amateur radio club. (http://www.nu5de.org/)

No explicit pictures here, but unbelievable nevertheless!

[N4AUD]

Well, I'll be on pins and needles until "Nude Recreation Week" in July...

Yep, they've been around a while.
I think they do field day "au natural" every year.

[KE5FRF]

Do they do code...eh, er...uh....with a straight k...ah, forget it. Better leave that one alone

Never mind...
I'm sorry

Where's the moderators when you really need one? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[KC9ECI]

I've got them in the log twice.

[KE5FRF]

OK, well, I'll cool it down...no more stupid puns or thoughts.

Just a wierd club.

Why in the world would I want to go to field day amongst a bunch of hairy OFs and work stations in the "buff"?

To each his own, I suppose.

Hey...I'm behaving myself.

I thought it was funny. Nothing bad here. Naturalist amateur radio is a legitimate pursuit, right?

[N4AUD]

I honestly don't personally know any hams I WANT to see naked. Most are grouchy old fat bald white guys like me.
I'm grossing myself out with just the thought of it...

Actually, why is that so over the top? I used to get invitations from the W6 who organized the group. They have a sort of net activity about twice a year. Usually in the summer. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Relax, I think Tom meant he has logged contacts with members from the aforementioned club. If he had meant it the way you took it I think he would have included the tag line "One of the QRZ moderators."

Yeah, that dawned on me not too long after I posted it.

PARANOIA!!!

[W2LYS]

This sort of thing could only happen up in Austin Texas.

And yes, I'll admit to going to Hippie Hollow...

[W2ILP]

Hmmmm...

Do they give any award certificates for eye ball contacts?http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif ...OR #must we work them with our #transceivers running barefoot, and with antennas that also have very limited coverage?http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

[n2nh]

I see they work 'barefoot'. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[ve2nsm]

It's "naturist" not "naturalist"... not the same meaning ;)

[KE5FRF]

There's nothing "natural" about naked radio...out in nature or otherwise.

Adam knew what he was doing with the figleaf.

[AG3Y]

Oh, you can find all kinds of poor and/or unintentional puns in the article on their web page. ( yes, I admit I peeked ! ) They are falling "behind" on their QSL cards. "Behind" Get it, Yuk Yuk Yuk ! ! !

http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif :blush:

[W5HTW]

At least in a nude ham wedding, you can quickly tell who the best man is.

[W5HTW]

Do they do SSTV?

[kd5rpo]

A few times I made contacts early in the morning when only in underwear, and I felt a bit uneasy about it. If I tried it in the buff I would at least need a towel.

I don't care if they are nude on the other end of a QSO. I can always shut my eyes. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Please! no slow scan!

[KC9IUX]

LMAO, I'd not go to one of the hamfests, :blush:

[K5USS]

Worked em one afternoon and after looking up the call sign on QRZ I was AMAZED! #Got the card on the wall with the feet showing. #That card has struck up more than one conversation!!! #Not sure I want to be a guest op at that station any time soon...A bit shy here with my beer gut! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I've heard of them, and worked them, and have their QSL card. Interesting group.

This entire gig grosses me out! Oh well, to each his own!

KE5FRF, thanks for sharing...not. LOL

[KB3LIX]

Sounds like a group of amateurs doing what comes 'Natural'
They must enjoy the activity, to each his/her own !

[KC9ECI]

Don't tell anyone, but I'm often nude under my clothing when I'm on the air.

[kl7aj]

I'm sure their antennas all use BARE wire

I guess they're not concerned about skin effect.

[KI4ITV]

"A new type of 'No-Code' ham."
No dress code that is. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

All this talk of dropping the code requirements and we thought they were talking about morse.
What a relief!

[KD6NIG]

I guess operating in that....fashion ensures equal RF exposure to all parts of the body.

Now if they have a field day type operation, outdoors, in the snow, then I'd have to say......they are much tougher than me.
