ON THE LEFT IS THE CB'er KNOWN AS 'THE GODFATHER' aka VE3DID. THAT CB'er IS NICK VE3DID WHO AIDED AND ABETTED HIS SON WES VE3ADU TO BOOTLEG HIS AMATEUR LICENSE ON THE HF BANDS. ON THE RIGHT IS A CLOSE FAMILY FRIEND OF THE SAWCHUK'S. IF YOU DOUBT IT LOOK HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE WHERE NICK VE3NJG GIVES A BIG SLOPPY KISS TO WES VE3ADU & NICK VE3DID THIS IS A GRAPH OF ONTARS MANAGERS SINCE 1972 
THE ABOVE GRAPH WAS COMPILED BY VE3HMS WHO WAS AT ONE TIME ORGANIZING SOME OF THE HISTORY OF THE ONTARS NET. THIS GRAPH SHOWS THE ONTARS NET MANAGER HISTORY FROM IT'S FOUNDER VE3BC TO VA3OU VA3OU RESCUED ONTARS FROM THE DEATH GRIP THAT
VA3OU MANAGED THE NET FOR 3 YEARS VA3OU PUT DOWN THE NEW CORNERSTONE UPON WHICH THE EXISTING VERSIONS OF THE ONTARS NET IS BUILT
N.B.
HE HAD OPERATED AS A BOOTLEGGER DURING HIS TIME ON THE NET. THIS BROUGHT SHAME ON THE ONTARS
NET AND ITS OTHERWISE EXCELLENT REPUTATION.
WHAT CONTINUES TO SURPRISE ME IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS COME FORWARD TO DEFEND EITHER THE SON OR THE FATHER. NOT ONE. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THE SAME AS MINE? WHERE ARE YOUR PALS WES? WHERE ARE YOUR STAUNCH FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS NICK?
WES I WENT ON A LONG SEARCH I FOUND YOUR FATHER'S MOTHER SHE MISSES YOU SO MUCH!! SHE SAYS YOU'RE JUST LIKE GRANDPA.
FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL ONE NIGHT WES WAS RAVENOUSLY HUNGRY! END OF SMOKE DETECTOR!

7.
WES VE3ADU HAS NEVER HAD SUCCESS IN BEING GAINFULLY EMPLOYED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. WES HAS BEEN THE RECIPIENT OF VARIOUS FORMS OF GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE FOR MOST OF HIS ADULT LIFE. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS HE HAS NEVER DONE WITHOUT. IN FACT IT HAS CAUSED HIM TO HONE A RAZOR SHARP EDGE ON HIS PERSONALITY AND MANNERISMS. WHEN REQUIRED HE IS A MOST CHARMING FELLOW WHO HAS
LEARNED HOW TO TALK HIS WAY INTO MAN A BUCKET FILLED WITH
ROSES.
8. I WAS A 'VICTIM' OF HIS TECHNIQUES WHEN HE WAS THE MANAGER OF 'ONTARS'. WES HAD A KENWOOD TS-430S WHICH STOPPED WORKING WHILE HE WAS THE ONTARS NET MANAGER. HE DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR IT. I OFFERED TO LOAN HIM MY TS-440S-AT UNTIL HE COULD ARRANGE FOR REPAIRS TO HIS RADIO. WES JUMPED AT THAT OFFER LIKE A KID IN A CANDY FACTORY.
9. LOANING MY RADIO TO WES WAS A SERIOUS MISTAKE IN JUDGMENT ON MY PART. I EVEN OFFERED TO DRIVE IT OUT TO HIM MEETING HIM HALFWAY. AT THE TIME WES LIVED IN ST. CATHARINES AND I LIVED IN TORONTO. I ARRANGED TO MEET WES AND HIS FATHER NICK AT THE MERRITT HALL IN ANCASTER ONTARIO. THIS IS WHERE THE HAMFESTS ARE HELD. I GOT LOST ON MY WAY THERE AS I WAS MAKING MY WAY THROUGH BURLINGTON. I WAS ABOUT A HALF HOUR LATE. WHEN I PULLED UP TO THEM IN THE PARKING LOT THE FIRST THING VE3DID NICK DID WAS TO DRESS ME DOWN FOR BEING LATE AND WHERE THE HELL HAD I BEEN AND SO ON. AT THE THE TIME IF I HAD HALF A BRAIN (WHICH I ADMIT TO NOT HAVING AT THAT TIME ) I SHOULD HAVE TOLD THE BOTH OF THEM TO GO "F" THEMSELVES FOR TALKING TO ME THAT WAY. I HAD VOLUNTEERED TO LEND MY RADIO TO WES AND I DROVE OUT TO MEET THEM BECAUSE WES DID NOT OWN A CAR. BUT THAT WAS HOW VE3DID NICK SAWCHUK SHOWED HIS APPRECIATION. JUST LIKE A PRAIRIE BOY WHO GREW UP IN A MUD HUT WITH
DIRT FLOORS.
10. TOWARDS THE END OF THE SEVERAL MONTHS THAT WES VE3ADU HAD MY RADIO SOME OF US ON THE ONTARS NET DISCOVERED THAT WES DID NOT HAVE A VALID AMATEUR LICENSE FOR THE HF BANDS. HE WAS JUST A 'BASIC' WES NEVER WROTE THE MORSE CODE TEST. AT THAT TIME MORSE AT EITHER 5 OR 12WPM WAS REQUIREDT GET ON THE HF BANDS HIS LICENSE WAS NOT ENDORSED WITH THE REQUIRED MORSE QUALIFICATIONS FOR HF PRIVILEGES . WES HAD NOT BEEN OPERATING LEGALLY ON THE HF BAND. HE HAD LIED ABOUT HIMSELF TO THE ONTARS NET AND TO EVERY OTHER AMATEUR HE HAD COME IN CONTACT WITH. VE3ADU WAS A BOOTLEGGER.
11. WES HAD BEEN BOOTLEGGING HIS CALL SIGN FOR OVER A YEAR. RALPH VE3RJD THE PREVIOUS NET MANAGER DISCOVERED THIS ABOUT WES. WES WAS RUN OFF THE ONTARS NET. VE3PRG ALLYN POLLOCK TOOK OVER AS NET MANAGER
12. GETTING MY RADIO BACK FROM WES TOOK ME ABOUT 2 MORE MONTHS OF CALLING WES AND ASKING FOR IT. HE WOULD PROMISE IT, THEN NOTHING. THEN HE WOULD PROMISE IT AGAIN, THEN NOTHING. I WILL NOT GIVE ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENTS THAT ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN THE RETURN OF MY RADIO. BUT I WILL TELL YOU I HAD TO CHECK IN TO THE ONTARIO
SWAP SHOP AND DEMAND THAT NICK VE3DID INTERVENE WITH WES AND TELL HIM TO
GET MY RADIO BACK TO ME.
13. NEITHER THE FATHER OR THE SON CAN BE EASILY DISTINGUISHED ONE FROM THE OTHER. THEY WORKED AS A TEAM THEN AND IN FACT ARE STILL DOING SO AS OF TODAY. SUFFICE IT TO SAY I GOT IT BACK. I HAD TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY OUT TO ST. CATHERINES TO GET IT. I HAD MY WIFE WITH ME AND SHE WITNESSED WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU. WES CAME DOWN TO MEET ME IN THE HALL OF THE LOWER FLOOR OF HIS APARTMENT BUILDING. HE TOLD ME TO MEET HIM AT THE REAR WHERE THE GARBAGE WAS PILED. HE WAS SWINGING MY RADIO BY IT'S CARRYING STRAP IN WIDE HIGH ARCS. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE THROWN AT ME OR GO FLYING TO THE CONCRETE IF THE STRAP BROKE. THE STRAP IS FOR CARRYING IT NOT SWINGING IT LIKE A HULA HOOP. I RUSHED FORWARD AND GRABBED THE GRINNING FAT BOY BY THE ARM. I HAD TO PULL MY RADIO OUT OF HIS HAND. I CAN STILL SEE THE ARROGANT GRIN ON HIS FACE.
14. WES VE3ADU WAS A BOOTLEGGER WITHOUT A VALID LICENSE FOR HF. VE3ADU WILL ALWAYS BE THOUGHT OF AS A BOOTLEGGER. HIS FATHER NICK VE3DID HAD FULL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT HIS SON WES VE3ADU HAD BEEN DOING. NICK VE3DID ADMITTED THAT TO ME TO ME ON THE AIR ON THE ONTARIO SWAP SHOP SOON AFTER WES HAD BEEN RUIN OFF OF THE ONTARS NET. HE SAID HE KNEW WHAT WES VE3ADU HAD BEEN DOING BUT THOUGHT IT WAS OK. SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS OK BECAUSE WES CLAIMED TO HAVE A
HEARING PROBLEM WHICH PREVENTED HIM FROM COPYING THE MORSE CODE.
15. NICK VE3DID HELPED HIS SON WES VE3ADU IN COMMITTING THIS BOOTLEG EVENT ON THE ONTARS NET. |
