[Hallicrafters] Wednesday HCI GlobalGlow Turkey Trot

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

The Hallicrafters Collectors International 20 meterGlobal Glow roundtable will
be held on Wednesday November 27th. Some of the gormet cooks among our ranks,
will have probably stuffed themselves sampling the various food dishes they are
preparing for the Thanksgiving feast. Hence, like the plump birds that once
waddled the woodlands crying out "kill the Pilgrims!", now stuffed with stale
bread crumbs and various spices all ready to be roasted in the oven, so shall
these overstuffed lovers of things that still go glow in the night waddle to the
Ham Shack. This may be the Global Glow Turkey Trot Net, not to be confused with
the 'green apple quick step' or 'Montazuma's Revenge'! Hopefully this trot will
be for vintage Hallicrafters fun, not to rest upon the great white throne of
porcelin and fall asleep reading the latest QST with more ads than early morning
TV! 	
	
So if you get the urge to run, join us at 7:00 PM EST, (0000 UTC) for the Global
Glow pre-Net. Or trot on in at 8:00 PM EST, (0100 UTC) for the roundtable
proper. and gobble up some facts and fantasy. 	
	
The frequency will be 14.315 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the
unsettling sound of a Turkey pleading in gobblely gook to not be cremated in a
microwave or embalmed with cheap wine made from organic grapes squeezed under
the armpits of pro wrestlers.      	
	
I distinctly recall one Turkey who met the razor sharp blade of a WW2 machete at
one Thanksgiving in South Dakota at my grandparents farm. His last gobble gobble
I later learned in a college language word root study group, translated to "My
last wish is that those prune headed pious Pilgrims have to eat those stupid
hats of theirs soaked in Gopher gravy and Skunk gizzards and wash it down with
apple cider with live worms swimming in it!" Made me wonder in retrospect, who
the real Turkey was. 	
	
One thing is for sure. If you eat that corn bread stuffing and gizzards you will
be doing a lot of trotting on Thanksgiving day! A guy with a pay toilet could
make a nice tidy sum.  	
	
I hope to hear all of you tomorrow evening on the air. Propagation or not, be
there and be calling CQ and listening with ear to the ground for a faint
acknowledgement of gobble in the distance. So don't foul up and don't show up
with excuses of being waylaid by a fowl day.
