[Hallicrafters] Wednesday Global Glow May Be The Finale

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Please light up those Hallicrafters, or other vintage tube gear, that still go
glow in the dark and join us on Wednesday August 21st for the HCI Global Glow 20
meter roundtable. Now do not light them up with a torch, I mean power them up
and light up the tubes! The pre-Net will begin at 7:00 PM EDT, (2300 UTC). Why,
you wonder, do I do this? Because the band changes the point at which it plays
skip the station between 2300 and 0000 UTC, hence those closer to my QTH than
1100 miles bounce right on into Canada.   	
	
The roundtable proper will commence at 8:00 PM EDT, (0000 UTC). If your digital
clock is broken, be sure to have extra D cells handy for the Maglight to
illuminate the sun dial face with. Although is it a Moon dial at night? In any
case, just listen around until you hear the Frogzilla Jive Swamp Gas Five doing
a pond stirring rendition of the theme to the old Porky's movie, Moon That
River!    	
	
The frequency will b 14.315 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the
unmistakable sound of the idiots to my West trying to play Beethoven's Fifth on
partially filled beer bottles by blowing into them with a hose from their air
compressor. 	
	
I greatly value and appreciate those who have helped with relay work for the
Wednesday Global Glow roundtable over the years. Because of my ongoing and
uncertain health issues, I can no longer be expected to be there every Wednesday
evening. I am not even sure I will be able to continue doing any NCS work, that
remains to be determined. I am not throwing in the towel until the last corn dog
stuffed with turkey is eliminated from the face of the planet. Those things do
not even belong in the landfills! They have a half life equal to that of the
disposable diaper, or about a half million years! If you are going to die from
eating sodium and fat filled hot dogs, then let it be from the real ones! Those
fake ones don't even bark and sizzle properly on a hot grill, they just lie
there and make little gobble gobble noises. 	
	
Try to be there and chat with Alan Waller, K3TKJ, operating right now as C6ALW
from the Caribbean. Al is the founder of these lists, as well as the qsl.net web
sites about fifty thousand of you enjoy. Drop by and say Hi to our main man.
Then spit some sea weed with Frogzilla at your neighbor's obnoxious Siamese Cat
that keeps leaping on your garbage can lid trying to dislodge it to snack on the
leftovers from Long John Silvers. I hope to hear, and chat with, a multitude of
you tomorrow evening. So be there and bring a gaseous tube to pass.
