[Boatanchors] Snowy Saturday HCI 40 Meter Net

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

All flavors of vintage gear are always welcome -   	
	
Many of you will probably be fasting on Saturday January 25th in preparation for
the much publicized, and generally disappointing, pig skin parade on Sunday.  I
understand that the red team aboard Columbia STS-107 will be doing atmospheric
spectrum analysis from their lofty perch to determine how much the atmospheric
concentration of hydrogen sulfide and methane increases during the game. I think
the scientific premise is, that if enough men drink enough beer and eat enough
chips with bean dip, or pickled hard boiled eggs, that the bodily emissions of
gas will contribute to global warming over a period of time.   	
	
If you are able, and not preoccupied blowing up hot air balloons, please join us
for the Saturday HCI 40 meter Net. It will commence with the pre-Net blow the
cobwebs out of the clouds crowd at 12:45 PM EST, (1745 UTC). The Net proper,
will begin at 1:00 PM EST, (1800 UTC). The frequency will be 7.280 Mhz lsb +/-
for key clicks, mike splatter and enough Super Bowl hype on every possible form
of communications media to fill the black hole in the center of the Milky Way
galaxy!     	
	
Join us if you are available for some facts, fun, fibs and vintage fellowship.
Tomorrow's topic: the first Super Bowl. What network, what year and what type of
broadcast gear was used on land, sea and air?
