[Boatanchors] Learn How To Pluck A Turkey On Sunday HCI Net!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

You heard it here first fellow lovers of things that go glow in the dark that
are not plastic or anatomical carbon based life forms! I am determined to blow a
hole through that rice colored smog clinging like crazed glue to the D region of
the Ionosphere preventing the radio waves from getting a nice angled bank shot
back down to Ham antennas so that vintage radio operators can hear each other
without having to put Nitrous Oxide on their hearing aid audio amplifiers and
reconfigure their rhombic to do the Rumba and somehow cause the angle of their
antennas dangle to do a sort of double dribble as the RF comes smoking off the
line, feedline, that is, and moves faster than a case of the old green Apple
quick step toward the waiting clouds.	
	
Now I figure with a little luck, and alot of high explosives gleaned from
leftover fourth of July Class C fireworks, that the Double Bazooka should fire a
round oil filled capacitor weighing in at about eight pounds through that smog
like it was so much whipped cream being smitten with a red hot fireplace poker!
Splat! Yuck! Now since I had the forethought to coat that round goo leaking
thing with a mixture of graphite and Teflon, it will slide right through those
clouds providing a slick area for those radio waves to skip through with ease
and come down around the 38th parallel. Wherever the heck that is!  	
	
Tell ya what, just show up for the pre-net on Sunday November 13th, like that's
today dude!, for the HCI 20 meter Net and we will listen to see what goes SPLAT
in someone's yard. Not that it matters, but then we will know the takeoff angle
for future use.	
	
The pre-Net will commence at 12:45 PM EST, (1745 UTC) and the Net proper begins
at 1:15 PM EST, (1815 UTC). The frequency will be 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key
clicks, mike splatter and the faint far sound of Tom turkeys beating feet
fleeing the butcher waving a razor sharp gleaming stainless steel carving knife
that looks more like a jungle hacking vine clearing machete! Personally I am
opposed to the President of the United States giving the turkey's a pardon at
Thanksgiving, as that lets a lot of pumpkin pie heads with giblet filled bank
accounts get off the FBI's list of 'Most Wanton' and escape getting their
political necks hacked off by a Congressional committee with one of those Ronco
107 piece imported all occasion knife sets that never get dull like senate
hearings, always stay as sharp as a straight razor the Queen of England forgot
to shave her hairy legs with or ready to cut and dice and chop and mutilate like
that famous American gormet cook El Primo, Chef BoyAreDeeze Gud! I really think
those turkeys should be clubed sensible by Senor Salomi instead of this bologna
of being pardoned so they can go and skim some more!	
	
Alright, I am off to the recliner for a few hours of snore time. So join me
later this day for some vintage Hallicrafters happenings. Bring a tale to tell,
some parts to pedal, some wants to plea bargain for, a Ham Fest fib to flaunt
and some technical wisdom to share with those afflicted by that horrific
affliction known as resistor color band blindness!
