Richter Hammockslam is QWRP's traffic reporter who tends to do anything except actually report the traffic. Richter is a licensed helicopter and dirigible pilot as well as a certified flight instructor (god help us). He has no wife nor children but hopes that one day, were he to disappear, someone would mourn him. May have accidentally adopted a child/apprentice pilot, Joy. Richter asserts that his rightful place is in the sky among the birds, although he will also accept the QWRP fanboat (there are ducks). Richter is confident, determined, and skilled at executing his ideas; unfortunately, all his ideas are bad.
Richter seems to be the only qualified pilot at QWRP FM and thus does whatever he wants regardless of his actual assignment. This includes running for aldersm'n on air, promoting his newest business investment, or trying out alternate careers in sports reporting or nature photography. The QWRP traffic helicopter (called the "Qwopter") theoretically belongs to the station, but Richter treats it as his own and will occasionally land it in his driveway or in the QWRP employee parking lot. He ordered some pontoons for it, but they haven't arrived yet.
Richter is banned from the airspace above the Jewelsburg Motor Oval and refuses to fly over the Bumper Crop Farms Corn Maze. He once air-dropped several puppies attached to parachutes over the town, resulting in a court judgement against QWRP FM.
Despite his hit-and-miss (mostly miss) approach to reporting on traffic, Richter seems to be a talented pilot. He has flown the Qwopter three feet above a highway, from outside the cockpit while standing on the runners, while holding a collection of puppies, while teaching a ten-year-old to fly, and while blindfolded; plus a variety of other improbable, difficult, or borderline illegal actions. On-air he has flown a blimp and a hang-glider and driven a fanboat. He also seems to have some experience in wilderness situations, having survived multiple days stranded atop the QWRP repeater antenna even though he did not, technically, have to.
