Airyn 'preggers' again?

Did anyone besides me notice, in the most recent pic of Airn (in the red dress), holding Aisia, (www.hamcams.com) that it looks like an early 'preggers' dress and a 'baby bump'???

First Annual NAMBPIG Convention

The First Annual NAMBPIG Convention occurred last week in Nevada. This first year’s attendees were Airyn & Art Bell w6obb, and Cherry & Ben Gardner kd7bcw. Apparently, Sharon & Carl Richardson kb5fjx, either were not invited or artie was not willing to foot the bill for more attendees. (Also on hand, still riding on artie’s coat tails was Scott Barris k7mix.)

There were two basic venues, Pahrump and Las Vegas.

In Pahrump, the events included:
-The ‘look what I have and you don’t’ with artie winning by miles.
-Another event was Ben getting on the LittlePeeps Network, using artie’s radio equipment, in which Ben was the winner, at least by LittlePeeps standards.
-Then there was the ‘gracious’ event, in which Ben had to perform various forms of ‘thank yous’, for his wife, for the trip to Pahrump (strange that artie never paid for Ben to visit before, and of course, Ben never had the funds for such a trip being on SSD and living with his mother), and artie had to graciously accept. Equal winners here.
-Perhaps in the Pahrump venue, there might have been the bedroom ‘swapping’ event (as artie has a rumored reputation for this).

In Las Vegas, the events included:
-The tourist event, seeing a show, and having dinner with Scotty.
-A side event was the children riding amusement rides with artie

Throughout all venues, the kids, Airyn & Cherry were able to visit extensively; surely comparing notes on the problems of being married to an old man, their new roles in life, and the demands now required of them (Adult Pampers, Diabetic Diets, Viagra, and sex, sex, sex!).

It will be interesting to see what ‘events’ next year’s convention will bring! (Which is almost as much fun as a ‘Lord of the Loop’ gathering.) Perhaps more NAMBPIG’s will be in attendance.

Elites, Crashed and Burned

(The above pic was posted by swl 'Michael' on the EliteHams.com last week.)

Well, that did not take long did it? The Elites have not been heard on-air (together), on their usual frequency, for a couple of weeks now.

Due to a schism between Jim Watkins ki6gu and Scott Barris k7mix (the new artie ‘go to’ boy), there are now only 2.5 remaining Elites: Art Bell w6obb, Scotty k7mix, and the half Elite, Ben Gardner kd7bcw (whose heart is really with the LittlePeeps – but jeeze, artie DID paid for his wife).

The schism between Jim and Scotty was predicted weeks before it happened by all the ‘behind the scenes’ folks. It was a given, no surprise; so much so, that one can’t help wondering if artie set it up that way?

But the crash of the Elites does present some dilemmas.

What about their web site? The Elites boast that 111 folks have signed up for their chat. What in the world do the chatters talk about if there are no Elites on air?

What about the ‘phone patch’, which their web site still promotes? Have you heard a phone patch lately? I sure have not! (In the ‘spirit’ of prior, smug on air challenges for me to call in, talk to the Elites, I formally invite the Elites to come here, using their REAL NAMES, and post their views of this event, and unlike what they undoubtedly planned for me, I won’t even ‘bait’ them! Other than to say, The HamFanz site and The HamFanz Grudge Report has certainly lasted longer than a few weeks!

I have to admit, I miss listening to them, ALL of them. I especially miss listening to them as they were a couple of years ago, when artie’s worshipers numbered in the dozens, and the band (3840 then) sizzled with hams and interesting conversations. Of course, that was pre Airyn Bell. (artie, has anyone mentioned that you cannot have it all?)

Other than leaving all the Elite ‘fans’ in the lurch ONCE AGAIN, there is a funny side to all of this. That funny side is hearing artie intrude on other on-air groups, usually with Scotty in tow, trying to find worshipers to convert. My guess would be that Jim ki6gu is ‘sitting’ on 3720, and artie and Scotty cannot go back there without doing a LOT of knee bending.

Artie is obviously looking for a place to take over and call home. Yes, artie is indeed looking for a home, in all kinds of ways!

Since artie, in recent months, is making enemies (Greg w6ezv, Jim ki6gu) of Elites faster than he can find replacements, perhaps he should just move to the PI’s and stay there. He has about run out of people here… (Note that I say ‘people’ and not friends, because artie does not know how to be a ‘friend’.)

Art Bell w6obb, Caught Slamming HamFanz Site

Sunday afternoon, March 9, 2008, artie slammed the HamFanz Poll page. He voted for himself as ‘most pompous’ a total of 96 times over a time period of 25 minutes.

(Talk about having too much time on your hands! Or perhaps Airyn Bell isn’t keeping him busy enough?)

At any rate, artie has been BANNED from the Polls Page of www.HamFanz.com! At least until I remember to unban him, or till he apologizes! (I’d bet being banned is something artie is NOT used too!)

Artie’s w6obb Grief

Today marks the second year since Ramona Bell passed.

Just yesterday I had a discussion with someone about the ‘degree’ of negligence artie might have been responsible for in the death of Ramona Bell.

Two years and the ‘doubts’ are still out there. It was even mentioned that no one had seen a copy of Ramona’s autopsy. (You know, there is no ‘statute of limitation on ‘murder’; I wonder if the same is also true of ‘negligent homicide’?)

Wonder if artie took Airyn & Asia to the gravesite today…

Steve Wingate k6txh, Sometimes ya gotta like the guy!

Today on RadioWingnuts http://www.radiowingnuts.com/ SteveO again took on Art Bell w6obb. He did this by posting links to OLD websites that questioned how Ramona Bell died, as well as artie’s ‘quick’ remarriage to Airyn Bell.

I would not want you to miss it! So, in case you have not yet read this entertaining, though old, stuff:

http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/art-bell-email-exchange
http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/news/3042/art-bell-threatens-lawsuit-over-weblog

Then lower down on RadioWingnuts http://www.radiowingnuts.com/, in the picture section, he posted a ‘picture’ of a text titled: 'Ramona Bell Murdered by Reverse Speech'...

This brings a couple of items to mind!

1) What did artie DO to Steve recently to bring on this ‘attack’? Or vice versa?
2) Or is SteveO just thinking, remembering things past?
3) Don’t you wonder what is going on in the ‘background’; the phone calls, email, messenger threats, etc?

I have ‘heard’ that artie is ‘livid’ about this stuff being posted on Radio Wingnuts. That may or may not be true. NOW it is also posted on The HamFanz Grudge Report (in case Radio Wingnuts should disappear). Artie can now have something else to be ‘livid’ about! But hey, if it is out there...

Art Bell w6obb, One picture...

One picture may well be worth a thousand words.

Ahhh, but two pictures can tell the entire story...yes?

But just WHAT kind of story is this? It ain't 'Love Story', that's for sure!

PS I should get paid LOTS O BUCKS for being out front and SAYING what everyone else is THINKING. Besides, now I might need to hire security!

Someone is listening to 3.720

Because I received this GREAT audio clip of artie w6obb and Jim ki6gu discussing MONEY, the parody I did with Bill Crowell w6wbj. This was apparently recorded on 10.22.2007.

Seems artie listened and didn't like nor approve of my voice or lyrics. He calls it 'old lady rap'.

Well jeeze, for one thing, I AM an old lady (lady being the key word), and I admit it. Unlike artie, (who is NOT a gentleman), I don't dye my hair, need someone to cook, do my laundry for me, or an almost child to provide sex. In 61 years of life, I have learned to take care of myself, do my own dishes, laundry, and live without a mate, as have MANY others in their 60's!

Besides, there are many that think the 'pap' he puts out on air is 'OLD MAN RAP'. (And he IS an old man!)

Not only that, but since the penis/money driven marriage to the young PI girl, Airyn, there are many that think his drivel is: FOOLISH, OLD MAN RAP! His constant on air praise of the PI's and it's culture? So just MOVE there! Take your bought and paid for wife and baby and just go already (Then Aisia Bell can put up her own 'ads for an american man' when she is 20.)

And that is the attitude of artie's 'pals', IF they are loyal members of the Cult of the Loop or other NAMBPIG's (North American Men Buying PI Girls), or in some way needing his money. Otherwise, artie aficionados, pals, admirers, indeed, even fans are dropping to the wayside in droves.

It is obvious by now that artie, the NAMBPIG's (North American Men Buying PI Girls), and some 'artie pals' have definitely chosen the 'low road' in life. (Easy to distinguish, the 'right thing' is always the hard way to go, whereas the 'wrong thing' is always the easy and self-serving choice. )

My opinion of artie's opinion (or his sicko pals) of anything NOW: a laugh and a loud RASPBERRY!

And come on! This is supposed to be a HOBBY, it's supposed to be FUN, (have artie and his NAMBPIG's furthered that in any way lately?).

So where IS artie's (your) sense of humor???

I not only had FUN doing the parody MONEY, but enjoy listening to it, and hearing the comments. (Still laughing at all you 'naysayers', and those that just didn't 'get it'!)

Next Professional Moves for Art Bell w6obb?

It will be Satellite radio, of course! My guess is he has wanted to do this for a long, long time. It would ‘cement’ his standing as a highly rated ‘Talk Show Host’. The only questions are when and what?

The ‘when’ will not be until he bores of playing checkers with his child bride and changing baby diapers. Art does not seem to tolerate ‘retirement’ well, having retired so many times, this is a given.

Will he do a ‘clone’ of Coast-to-Coast AM, or strike off in a new direction when he signs with Satellite? My guess is that he will stick with the ‘paranormal’ but only cover people and topics of HIS choosing, as in his early shows from Vegas. We shall see...

Then there are always ‘cameo’ TV & movie rolls. No doubt, the offers keep rolling in. (Or maybe they do not – now that his true character has emerged.)

Finally, it has been a long time since he has composed a badly written, ghost authored, book. I have been telling him for years that I know what his next book should be, but he has never contacted me! Wonder why? It is moot now, as the content of his next book should be obvious. I just hope that this time he contracts with a better ghost author.

If Art Bell wants to promote (brag) about any or all of the above, or get any valid American input from peers, he will have to get back on Amateur Radio – it just isn’t the same vicariously, though your newest wife, Airyn Bell, or your brother-in-law Carl Richardson kb5fjx.

As for the rest of you Hams and SWL’s, your professional lives might be of interest also if it in some way dovetails into ‘radio’! If so, at least post a comment.

Art Bell w6obb, Retires Again

Last night on Coast-to-Coast AM, artie announced his immediate retirement from the popular radio program. I am not sure that anyone actually knows how many times he has done this now, I have certainly lost track.

Yep, he is retiring EXCEPT for ‘fill-in’ shows and ‘specials’ he may be called on to do. (Now I ask, is that retirement?)

This time, his STATED reasons for retiring were (paraphrasing here):
- he has ‘found’ love.
(uhhh, love is NOT turned off and on like a faucet)
- he wants to spend whatever time left that God grants him, with Airyn and Asia
(in other words to keep Airyn on her knees, and I don’t mean in prayer, artie needs to placate her with travel and other un-boring things)
- he is eligible for Social Security
(someone out there needs to find out what Airyn and Asia will be eligible for Social Security wise, as a wife and child)

However, reading between artie’s lines, I hear:
- they needed the medical insurance, but now that the child has been born
- the rumors of LOW weekend ratings may well have been true
- perhaps he proved more of an embarrassment and liability then an asset to Premier Radio
- perhaps artie was ‘asked’ to retire
- artie has lost his Coast-to-Coast AM ‘touch’, for proof, just listen to a couple of his old shows and compare them to current shows. Recent shows sound forced, and seem scripted
- Airyn is leading him around by the uhhh, nose
- artie is in dire need of an antidepressant

While listening to his ‘announcement’ of his ‘immediate retirement from the week end Coast-to -Coast AM, I was struck by a couple of things. First off, I did predict this ‘ending’ weeks ago. Secondly, his reasons were all about HIM. Indeed, in any of his retirements, he did not consider the results of his actions on anyone but HIMSELF. I cannot remember that he ever a voiced a thought about his fans, the show, or its producers or owners, only what artie wanted.

Also during this announcement, artie claims to have a ‘small circle of close friends’. (Are three people a ‘circle’ and do relatives, even if only by marriage, count?) I cannot help but wonder who those would be, (especially if you eliminate those wishing to spend his money) as many of the people who once called him friend are not only disgusted, but also done with him.

But, cheer up folks, all is not lost! Maybe Airyn will enjoy traveling her new country in the death mobile RV! (She does not seem to mind living in Ramona’s house, on Ramona’s furniture, or stepping into Ramona’s life. How very, very sad for her; expect more babies and perhaps a nervous break down for her within years.)

Then too, maybe artie and the other members of the new ‘elite’ group that seems to be forming will show up on 3.720 with more regularity to enlighten and entertain.

Ben Gardner kd7bcw, dumped!

But was it by Cherry, or artie w6obb?

From the rumors and hints of rumors I am hearing, artie took Big Ben kd7bcw half way to paradise, then dumped him.

It would seem that after leading ben down the rose petal covered path, towards marriage to a young, compliant, wanting a green card, Filipina, artie backed off, refusing to pay the final costs of Cherry immigrating to the US. Essentially, artie dumped Ben. Cold to say the least!

I have no idea what the exact arrangement was between the two hams, but my guess does not include Ben being in Salem, Oregon, and his lawful wedded wife remaining the Philippines, half a world away. (BTW, either party is welcome to comment here!)

Especially as Artie was the INSTIGATOR of all these Big life changes that Ben took on. My guess is that Big Ben would never have pursued this particular folly had not artie led him on. It was artie or airyn Bell that introducing Ben to Cherry via the net. It was art that paid for all Ben’s expenses (and I bet it was the ‘bottom of the line’, to the penny) to the Philippines. Now, artie is putting the kibosh on the whole deal (or whatever the agreement was).

Having not heard directly from any of the parties involved, we are left to wonder just who backed out, was it artie, unwilling to put out another few thou, or Cherry (telling Airyn Bell that she had changed her mind).
One thing is for sure, artie w6obb, never fails to fail his friends (or women)!

Art Bell w6obb, Perhaps All is Not Well in Pahrump?

I listened to the first hour of Coast-to-Coast AM both this last Saturday and Sunday nights. The announcement on Saturday night, of Asia Bell’s birth was both complete and appropriate; in fact, artie sounded like the quintessential ‘new dad’.

Also on Saturday night’s show, artie thanked Carl Richardson kb5fjx, his now brother-in-law & Sharon Richardson, his now sister-in-law for making the drive to Pahrump and staying for TWO weeks, a week before and a week after the birth of Asia. Am I the only one to find such a long visit by relatives at such a ‘delicate’ time to be, uhhh, noteworthy?

However, here is the clincher, reading between the lines (or, reading between the non-existent lines!); as NOT ONE TIME, did Art Bell mention Airyn other than in a factual manner (she told him she was having ‘pains’, they showered, etc). Artie never once commented on how Airyn was doing, how Airyn tolerated and was healing from the C-Section, how Airyn was doing with the baby.

Most men are even ‘more’ attentive, enthralled, appreciative, and in love with their wives (if love even existed in the first place) immediately AFTER the birth of a baby. This does not seem to be the case with the Bells. I find this lack of Airyn ‘being in the picture’ during this week’s Coast-to-Coast AM intros, as strange as the two-week visit from in-laws.

There is an active poll (for June 2007) asking which of these ‘made in the Philippines’ HAM marriages will hit the rocks first at: http://www.hamfanz.com/Polls/Index.html .

Lastly, there was no ‘love’ bumper music this weekend on Coast-to-Coast AM. Is the Honeymoon (or the insanity) over?

Bell's w6obb, 'Anchor' Baby has arrived!

Today, Airyn Bell cemented her relationship with the USA by giving birth to her 'anchor baby', in Las Vegas, NV.

She could leave artie tomorrow, for a younger, better looing man (if she's smart she will wait till she has her hands on more of his assets) and NOT be deported; she is now the mother of a United States Citizen.

Wonder when Sharon Richardson, wife of Carl kb5fjx is going to follow suit? And will Ben Gardner kd7bcw become a father again? (It would seem that artie, and Big Ben weren't the world's best fathers the first time around.)

And forgive me if I'm not remembering correctly, but aren't all of these men, somewhat conservative, claiming to be 'morally superior', and 'made in America' types?

Amazing how one's morals and political views go out the window when the dishes need to be washed and sexual satisfaction becomes a #1 priority.

All of this, of course, just goes to prove what 'most' women know; (including the Filipinos - who have developed a 'market' economy on this knowledge) 'some' men's brain reside in their penis...

Chaos Reigns

I know there is not a full moon; are we not just barely past a full moon, or was it a new moon? Could it be sunspots? Something has ‘triggered’ absolute chaos across the bands! Is it a conspiracy of some type? Or did 'they' think I was just not busy enough to keep those donations coming in...

****************

1) Jim Southwick n7js was removed for the second time from http://www.hamcams.com/ , allegedly for posting a ‘pornographic pic. Paul Bowman w7mag, said the stick figure with the gas
nozzle was offensive to his daughter. I would assume the pic of a very pregnant Airyn Bell in only a bra was not, since artie’s pics are still present.

1A) Scott Baris n6edv, was ‘demoted’ on the http://www.hamcams.com/ page. Was there a reason? Did he also post a pic that Paul’s daughter found offensive? Could it be that he can be heard on 3.840 (as is Jim n7js)?

1B) Which goes a long way to prove that artie w6obb, still, ‘owns’ Paul Bowman and HamCams.

****************

2) 3840 was jammed for HOURS starting with traditional ‘call to battle’ bagpipe music. (Find audio clips: 2007_05_16_KI6GU_Bagpipes_Are_Overwhelming_Here.mp3 & 2007_05_16_WB6BNQ_W6WBJ_All_Done_Jamming_Now_Greg.mp3 Bill Crowell w6wbj, on air, claimed that Greg Sousa w6ezv was the source. Others were wondering if Billy was doing the jamming himself. Why would the ‘world’s biggest jammer’ be upset by a little jamming anyway? (Again, a case for the fact that Billy w6wbj, can dish it out but not take it!)

****************

3) Steve Wingate k6txh, again deeply under the ‘influence’ and losing it on 3.840 for HOURS in the wee hours of 5.18.07 (Clip: KI6GU_W6EZV_K6TXH_Steve Goes Nuts (again).mp3 ). When Steve was asked, fairly nicely at first I might add, to shut up or leave, and he chose to do neither, it was revealed that he was growing marijuana for sale, at his Northern California home. (Which, I may add, was alluded to here, in The HamFanz Grudge Report earlier. Click on the k6txh link!). Will law enforcement soon be visiting SteveO? Will the FCC take any action? I will believe neither until I see it.

3A) Greg Souse was on air on 3.840 via a phone patch, compliments Jim ki6gu.

3B) In retaliation for the above, Steve Wingate w6txh, banned Jim Watkins ki6gu, and Scott Baris n6edv (after reposting a pic of ki6gu), from his http://www.3840hams.net/ site. (Like the police knocking on your door and a felony conviction are equivalent to not having a place to post personal pics!) This doesn't seem to leave much of a web site.



****************

4) There is gossip that ‘Sawyer’ is still one more of billy’s w6wbj, multiple ID’s! As Jim’s Tuner remains off line, yet ‘Sawyer’ (whose only email is at his 3840aa site), and who claims he is a SWL, is recording and posting audio clips. BTW, ‘Sawyer’ (which rhymes with lawyer), never chats about his radio, antenna etc. as do most SWL’s.



...So many of these Hams have ‘fallen’ so many time, from so many things, that they not only have the properties of dominos, knocking down the next in line, but I suspect some (like SteveO), are actually developing spots on body and soul, white, yellow, or otherwise!

My phone and email has been ‘hot, hot’ hot’ the last few days and I have been trying to sort out fact from wishful thinking! As I get more background on these events, I will follow up! If you have MORE information, let me know...

Ben Gardner kd7bcw, following the ‘yellow brick road’

Pic 2.3.06 www.HamCams.com

As of today, Big Ben is following ‘the yellow brick road’ to the Philippines in search of a sweet-young-thing bride. He is on the plane for the trip half way around the world right now.

Ben was instructed, or enticed into this quest by the ‘munchkin’ better known as the ‘Lord of the Loop’’ cult leader, Art Bell w6obb – who it is said, also paid for Ben’s trip! artie made his trip down this same road just over a year ago, and has ‘publicized’ it in many ways and places.

Big Ben is going to be gone for three weeks. In the Philippines, he plans to meet, face-to-face, Cherry, (NOT a Ruiz), and perhaps marry. Ben was introduced to Cherry who was a classmate of Airyn Ruiz Bell’s, via computer, by Airyn, no doubt at the behest of artie. (Pimps all?)

The fact that Cherry was a ‘class mate’ of Airyn Ruiz Bell, means that she is also very young. In fact, on March 24, 2007, I received a ‘message’, in a very public place, on one of my sites from Ben’s adult daughter, Liz. I entered into a short email dialog with her, to confirm her identity. In her publicly posted message (which, for the sake of all involved, I immediately deleted), she stated:

“...You know I didn't know my dad growing up. Not really anyhow. I knew who he was, but I only seen him a few handful of times. Not his fault just worked out that way. I know he is marrying the young woman from the Philippines. I am not crazy about the idea myself. For goodness sakes she is a little younger than I, but he did ask if it was alright with me and I said yes. He said he would not marry her if I wasn't ok with it and I am. Do you know why? I am ok with it because they are both adults, it is what will make them both happy...”

Ben Gardner is just another old geezer who blew his chances at relationships when he had them, and is now seeking the impossible. Ben, and others, are trying to evade sleeping in the bed they made so many years ago. In their current quest for Lust & Power, they are hurting family members all over again. (Too bad we have not heard publicly from Ramona Bell’s family nor arties adult son or mom regarding these events.)

I must admit that I do not feel the same about Ben’s Quest on the ‘Yellow Brick Road’ as I did about Carl kb5fjx, and artie. Carl was pimping artie for money, the cost of the trip. Artie was replacing a wife, as one would replace a worn rug, only faster. Ben is doing none of these things, though he IS following artie’s lead, as usual.

I sadly predict much pain and ultimately, disaster in all three of these marriages, for all involved. It will be like watching the proverbial car wreck (many a wreck on that Yellow Brick Road!) only in slow motion, and coming from three directions. My ‘Prognostications’ (“To predict according to present indications or signs; foretell. –Houghton Mifflin) have been accurate. It is not hard to read the writing on the wall in the ‘Emerald City’ at the end of the Yellow Brick Road!

Ben’s on air audio comments, from the night before his trip, can be found at: www.hamFanz.com Audio Archives/Current.

Finally: Posted by billy w6sbj on 3.30.07 on www.3840Hams.net chat.

“Gang; let's recall evvy's prediction that Ben was going to marry another of the Ruiz sisters. I don't think he ever did, did he? Does this mean that evvy The Great Prognosticator was wrong? Maybe she needs to take some prognostication lessons from Orv!” (It is amazing how often Billy is wrong, yes?)

Cherry, Cherry Pie (or Mrs. Ben Gardner kd7bcw)

Ben Gardner kd7bcw, of Little People fame, is going to be married in about 8 to 10 weeks. (The marriage was supposed to occur sooner, but there is some hang-up.) He is going to go to the Philippines to marry Cherry, the cousin of Airyn Ruiz Bell w6obb, and Sharon Ruiz Richardson kd5fjx. Her picture was briefly up on www.hamcams.com, but alas, I did not save it. (But remember, you READ it here, in The HamFanz Grudge Report first!)

The newest newlyweds are planning to live happily ever after with Ben’s Mom! Of course, Ben is trying to keep this all hush-hush, is it because he is embarrassed, or ashamed of what he is doing? Is this something a ‘morally superior’ Ham would do?

Obviously, artie introduced Ben, via computer, to his wife’s cousin, just as Carl Richardson introduced artie to Airyn, his wife’s sister. All of this sharing of the Ruiz women, in a technical sense makes all these men pimps and/or Johns. How many more women does that Philippine family have for sale? Though I do not blame the Ruiz women involved, they are smart enough to recognize when they have hit the jackpot.

Supposedly, Art Bell is paying for Ben’s trip just as he paid for Carl Richardson’s trip. There is no doubt that Ben could not afford it. When I checked the airlines, the going round trip fare was anywhere between $987 and $2000 to Manila. Will artie also pay for hotels, meals, the ceremony, etc? Who is artie going to supply with a Ruiz women next, perhaps Jim Watkins ki6gu? Jeeze, will artie pay to import a Philippine Ruiz boy toy (houseboy of course!) for moi?

Ben makes no bones about being on disability, though no one seems to know why. In fact, he lives with his mother, in his mom’s house. He claims that he lives with his mom ‘to help her out’. (Yea, right, and if you will buy that, I have a bridge for you.) I would like to know how much did he ‘help her out’ before he became disabled. (Yet he continually puts me down for trying to make a legitimate buck, and I do not have a ‘mom’ who owns a home, to live with, or ‘share’ expenses with!).

The scuttlebutt is that Ben’s mom is thrilled with the upcoming nuptials. I do not doubt this. There will now be another woman in the house to do Ben’s laundry, shopping, and other stuff, besides mom, who has been doing it for years now.

These three hams seem to believe whole-heartedly on ‘keeping it in the family’ as well as in ‘the old boys (fools?) club’. This makes the fourth Ham to marry an asian in the past year (Dan Van Hoy vr2hf, married an asian woman named Zane just last week-but her origins are as yet unknown, as is the status of how they met.)

Does anyone else find all this completely disturbing and disgusting?

Art Bell w60bb, More on the ‘Acceptance Speech’

I have now had the chance to listen to this several times. And I have some further observations.

The entire event, introduction, presentation, and ‘acceptance speech’ lasted about 13 minutes and 45 seconds. Of that time, Noory’s intro and the actual ‘presentation’ took up 6 minutes and 45 seconds. Artie spoke less than 6.7 minutes. Obviously, this entire thing was ‘crafted’ to give Noory and Bell equal time!

The ‘Little People’ remark; I cannot believe that he actually thanked ‘Bonnie’ (I assume, artie’s good buddy kq6xa.) for that ‘joke’ that fell like a rock in a lake. I cannot believe he took her suggestion to use it. Obviously, artie has lost his ‘subtle’ humor talents, if he ever had them! Are the 'Little People' supposed to be overjoyed with the fact that artie linked them to grays, the so called 'aliens that arrive in UFO's to abduct people and mutilate animals? Somehow, unless they are 'very little of mind', I think not.

The ‘Ramona, love of my life’ remark; this may very well be true. When is he going to stop beating us all over the head with his so-called grief? As far as I am concerned, any sympathy he deserved following Ramona’s untimely and mysterious death, came to an abrupt stop the minute he contacted Airyn Ruiz on the internet.

The ‘new woman’ remark; at the opening of his ‘speech’ his specific comment was, “And I found this wonderful new woman, seated right down there.” (New Woman? New Woman!!! ) What an insensitive, uncaring, and sexist comment. If he had a new transceiver, he would sure as hell mention the name! It would seem artie can trade-out women like some do cars or houses. He does not even sense that there is something basic, deep down, wrong with this. He did, at the end of his ‘speech’ mention that he was going to take his NEW WIFE (ditto all the above comments), Airyn (pronouncing it as HE prefers to pronounce it), and the expected child, Asia, to Disneyland.

At this point, I do not even know how Art Bell w6obb, can stand himself...

Addendum:

Within hours of posting the above, I saw a television ad for Disneyland promoting a ‘two for one’ deal. Tell me artie is not THAT cheap! This advertisement also made note of the fact that the park had opened in 1955.

My mind then made the leap to wondering how many times artie had gone to Disneyland between 1955, when the park opened and artie was 10 yrs old, till artie turned 39 in 1984 when Airyn Ruiz was born. Yuk! What a sick old man...

Art Bell’s w6obb, Lifetime Achievement Award

You would think that a 61-year-old man that has worked in broadcasting most of his adult life, and had been involved in Amateur Radio since his early teens, could come up with a better acceptance speech than what he did! This man of words had no new ones yesterday! In fact, I do not believe he gave this ‘acceptance speech’ ANY thought at all. He sounded old, shook up, uncomfortable, and unprepared.

He briefly related the same old story we have all heard for months and years; including the loss of ‘the love of his life, Ramona’, and the ‘new woman’ in his life (don’t you think Airyn Ruiz Bell is tired of hearing that?). He told the gathered big wigs about ‘Asia’; how and where she was conceived, and when her birth was expected. As expected, he did not mention his adult son nor his mother (people he SHOULD have thanked!).

There were two surprises. The first being that right out of the gate, artie mentioned ‘The Little People’ (Wow, he really IS trying to gather in his ‘Cult of the Loop’ loopies around him!), and then tried to cover up what he meant by the term. The second surprise was that he was taking Airyn to Disneyland right after the luncheon - cannot think of a more fitting place for either of them, just where they both belong, with Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Tinkerbell!

I did make a recording of Art Bell’s Lifetime Achievement Acceptance Speech (from what organization???). Since it is material from Coast-to-Coast AM, therefore proprietary stuff, I can not post it. I also have copies of the ‘award ceremony’ pictures that were posted on the Coast-to-Coast AM web site, but it is a ditto on the proprietary thingeee there also. (Artie is just waiting for some reason to sick his lawyers on moi!).

If perchance, you missed both the ‘speech’ and the pictures, or even the 'award lunch' itself, I don't think you have not missed anything of interest or import...

(btw, the pic above is a 'spoof' from July 2004 www.hamcams.com)

Art Bell w6obb, Dirty Old Man

Last night on Coast-to-Coast AM, Art Bell announced that Airyn Ruiz Bell had just celebrated her 23rd Birthday. He posted this picture of a very pregnant Airyn Bell celebrating her 23rd Birthday at a ‘surprise’ party hosted by ‘Kathy’ (of KNYE management?), and other Pahrump residents (probably Paul Bowman w7mag, and his family, feeling sorry for Airyn being so far from home).

I am no mathematician, but this mean that Airyn had just turned 22 years old when Art married her, last summer. And that Airyn was just 21 when he started corresponding with her; just one year less than 40 years his junior!

This would probably make her younger than his only child (to date), his adult son, Art Bell Jr. Wonder what he thinks of this marriage created by cold hard cash and consummated in lust? After all, Art Bell Jr. who has apparently never gotten much of anything (including parenting) from his father stands to lose any future financial security that was rightfully due him.

Bell has lied repeatedly, on Coast-to-Coast AM, and via emails, forum messages, and apparently, phone calls to his ‘friends’ (What? He still has some?), telling all that Airyn was 25 when he ‘met’ her!

Art Bell is a liar and experienced manipulator. More proof of this is that during last night’s show, he was giving kudos to the Fantastic Forum! How many times over the years have we heard him put down, make fun of, negate the Fantastic Forum and other like groups and those that participate in them, on Short Wave Radio? (Guess this is the only place left for him to turn to for adulation.)

He is a despicable old (and not aging gracefully!) leach. A man who is trying to relive younger days through this inexperienced (in so many ways!) young woman, who had no choice but to go where the money was, both for herself and her relatives. Art Bell is a dirty old man, and has effectively proved that money corrupts, or at least that it corrupted him, and perhaps Airyn too.

Art Bell w6obb, rumors

Now these are REALLY rumors, I have seen no substantiation for any of these items, though I have heard them from all over. However, they are fun! And, they might portend even more amusing things to come...

1) that artie was heard on 160 TWICE this last Monday Night.

2) that artie phoned billy w6wbj, asking that billy leave artie alone when on air, and billy’s response was to ‘blow up’.

3) that billy and art had a qso (and that Jim Watkins ki6gu, was there listening).

4) that artie was on 1.957 configuring his audio.

5) that Big Ben is setting his alarm to get up and play with artie on a secret frequency in the middle of the night.

6) that airyn bell is getting fat from eating all those baked potatoes.

Yes, folks, it looks like the long awaited action is close at hand! The players have been sizing each other up, but now it looks like everyone is taking their positions. Though off to a slow start, from the ‘high desert’, the ‘kingdom of Nye’, the game is on!
