[Hallicrafters] HCI Sunday 20 Meter Net Live From The Super Bowl

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Sorry about that typo Hallicrafters, and other vintage gear, lovers. That should
have said "Live From The Slush Bowl", my backyard! Super Bowl, Toilet Bowl,
Fruit Bowl or Popcorn Bowl - The HCI Sunday 20 meter Net will be held on
February 3, 2002 in spite of hail, misguided Canadian Honkers or Hail Mary's! It
will commence with the pre-Net show at 12:30 PM EST, (1730 UTC). In an effort to
remove the glistening coating of ice from the Hustler 6BTV, I have bribed five
neighborhood young ladies to encircle the antenna with their battery powered
hair dryers in one hand and a cellular phone in the other. If the hot air from
one does not melt the ice, the other should definitely do it! If all goes well,
I will be flinging hotter than a chili bean puffer electrons skyward at 12:30 PM
EST testing the antennas, so join me.  	
	
The Hallicrafters Collectors International 20 meter Net officially begins at
1:15 PM EST, (1815 UTC). The frequency will be 14.293 Mhz usb +/- for key
clicks, mike splatter and the sound of ice and snow rumbling off my Ham Shack
roof like a herd of Elephants doing the Rumba!       	
	
Question: Who manufactured the vacuum tubes labeled "Hallicrafters" used in the
Hallicrafters equipment? Was it Raytheon? 	
	
Question: Popular Electronics is the source of the phrase: "Key Clicks And Mike
Splatter" It was a monthly column. Who wrote it? 	
	
Question: Is anyone interested in a W9WZE Special Event QSL card being issued on
Father's Day this year? Featuring the father of Hallicrafters, William Halligan,
Sr., naturally.
