All vintage gear is always welcome -
I have made a special one time deal with Apollo, the former Sun god, now retired
and living in an antenna restricted condo on Ganymede, to have his friend Zeus
hurl some bolts of energy at the D region of our ionosphere and blow the H out
of it. Now the "H" in this case, is representative of humdrum, not that
extremely hot non-tropical place where dishonest used car salesman, Bay of E
liars and crooked politicians end up for all eternity. Hopefully Apollo can
blast some holes in the accumulated solar debris and let those waves from the
Hallicrafters that still go glow in the dark encircle the planet and we can hear
each other tonight.
The Wednesday May 22nd HCI Global Glow 20 meter roundtable will commence with
the pre-Net at 7:00 PM EDT, (2300 UTC). While Zeus hurls, (hopefully bolts of
lightning, not his supper!), I shall do my propagation dance moves. I was
featured on the Fred Astaire Funniest Dance Video because I could not get the
triangle moves out of the square dance numbers. So my propagation dance involves
playing the Cascades "Rhythm Of The Rain" while blasting low clouds with my
sawed off 12 gauge shotgun loaded with rock salt!
The roundtable proper begins at 8:00 PM EDT, (0000 UTC). The frequency will be
14.315 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the sound of neighbors
swearing when I miss a cloud and top their prize tree into the carefully
manicured imported hybrid rose garden! The back up frequencies will be 14.322
and 14.328 Mhz usb.
Please join us this evening for some Hallicrafters fun, facts, fellowship and
far flung electrons. Hear you there tonight!
