[Boatanchors] Join HCI Sunday Net, NCS Is Barefoot And ..

[Duane Fischer]

Please join us on Sunday December 4th for the always live, never censored,
HCI
20 meter Net. Packed with radio facts more diversified than the ingredients
of a
'Ham' Shack salad assembled with ingredients swiped by the fastest Ham
available
who could be bribed with a one pound bag of fresh Orange Drops into running
down
the aisle where the food venders were at yesterday's Ham Fest For The
Schematic
Impaired, grabbing samples as he sped by with the pedal to the metal, a
Heil
double relay foot fungus rot resistant foot switch in this case, and
tossing
them into a large one gallon bowl made from the former metal housing of a
military duty oil filled hydraulic high voltage capacitor cylinder! You
will hear
more facts during these Nets than you could get from an entire collection
of
Flunk and Wiggle encyclopedias being read over the intercom system of a
reformatory for delinquent boys who stole hubcaps, repainted them and sold
them
at art fairs as decorative holiday gift cookie plates once used by famous
European kings who had a bad habit of losing their heads at Guillotine sale
demonstrations! Think that Elevator Music reeks like last weeks ripe and
pungent
garbage you bagged up, but forgot and left by the wood burner in the
garage?
Those books are mental torment for teenagers and will either kill them or
convert them into sheep herding mystic Monks in Tibet! Which you are well
aware
of, if you happen to be blind and have been forced to read some of those so
called " historical philosophical classics" while in a rehab program! Now
just
who selected these for "Talking Books" anyhow? Skillfully recorded for the
blind, to be played on a small portable disc player using those super thin
plastic disks that a skilled surgeon could not set the tone arm needle down
on,
without plowing out a trench in the plastic that puts one in mind of a
backhoe
with a stuck throttle!  	
	
We have something for everybody, no matter the flavor of the radio, color
of the
wannabe crinkle coat paint or bragging hype for the sensitivity/selectivity
specifications. So show up early for the pre-Net at 12:45 PM EST, (1745
UTC),
and flex those circuits in perfect RF form. Then hang ten, or a RST of 5/9
will
suffice nicely, for the Net proper at 1:15 PM EST, (1815 UTC). If you can't
tell
time because you forgot to get a battery for your digital display watch,
and
are now using your old watch from last century, the one with those two
little
moving hands confuse you and the face has white  Roman squiggles on it
instead
of numbers, and the darn thing is making a ticking noise! g out! It is not
a
bomb dude! Ah never mind, like just tune in 15,000 kHz on your TV satellite
RX
and get the time from WWV in Boulder, Colorado!	
	
The frequency is still 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and
that
over modulated, over driven and overly generous dribble being shared from
the
QSO on adjacent frequencies that have this very odd habit of moving closer
and
closer to our operating frequency. Can it be the result of magnetic
attraction
to REAL radios being dredged up from their subconscious childhood days when
the
radio was in a beautiful wood cabinet that occupied half of the kitchen
table or
nine cubic feet of the living room! What we need is an electronic Fly
swatter
splatter guard! Anyone?  				
	
Here's hoping to hear you tomorrow, ah make that later on today, about 8.5
hours! Be there! Lots of news! Changes coming on December 24th and 31st.
And a
hint from Santa, whom I worked on 17 meters Thursday at 0722 UTC, he says
that
anyone who leaves him fat free snacks, artificially sweetened cookies or
brownies or cheese sticks or candy or fresh vegetables with some of that
health
food dip that tastes like Reindeer droppings, he plans to leave you a live
Skunk
with a serious gas problem!
