[Hallicrafters] Warm Up For HCI 20 Meter Net Sunday!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Please join us for the Sunday January 5th Hallicrafters Collectors International
20 meter Net. (Notice I got the month right this time! Forgot to turn the page
on the Braille calendar the last time.) The pre-Net will commence at 12:45 PM
EST, (1745 UTC). The Net proper starts at 1:15 PM EST, (1815 UTC). The frequency
will be 14.293 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the unmistakable
sound of another Coke can I put in the freezer to chill quikcly, and forgot
about, exploding and spraying that sticky stuff all over the inside of my
freezer. Sounds like a small jet roaring around in there as it bangs into the
sides and sprays Coke everywhere imaginable. The good news is, if the
refrigerator freezer door seal has a slight leak, you can now spot it easily
because there will be Coke dripping out!	
	
I hope to hear many of you later today. Note the time is 1:18 AM EST, I am up
late because I discovered the apple cider that is slightly hard, works on a
human intestinal track like Liquid Plumber does on a clogged sink drain! What a
rush! The down side is that by the time the rectal equivalent of Niagra Falls
goes dry, and I can crawl exhausted into my favorite recliner, there will be
nothing on the TV to lull me to sleep except for those infernal infomercials. I
can't get into counting Sheep, as I absolutely detest lambchops, both that
puppet and the one that goes Baa Baa before they smack it in the head with last
years Chicago phone directory to kill it! So if during the HCI Net my tongue
gets in the way of my 'eye' teeth and I can't see what I am saying, you will
understand that the infomercials did me in. 	
	
If you know anything about the repairs of a HT-32b, please show up, as we have a
vintage brother with one that is diseased and needs somebody to lay hands on it
to heal it. And no, I don't mean lay hands on it to steal it either! I will hear
thirty states later today, so suck down some caffeine, warm up that vintage
gear, kick the snoring pet out of your Ham Shack chair and  join us. If I don't
get thirty states checked in, I will pull a name out of the check in list
database top hat, and the winner is the new NCS. Now you know how Magicians
work, right? Heads we win and tails you lose! So get your head screwed down
tight, and get the other end, known as the tail, in the chair and mike in hand.
Be there or be nominated dude!
