[Hallicrafters] Join HCI Sunday Net Live From Snowdrift!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Great galloping Galapagos goiters! Spring may have sprung, but the grass ain't
riz, now where the heck did the Sun go? It is snowing outside! Fear not, oh ye
fickle of finger and slight of spunk. The Sunday March 30th HCI 20 meter Net
will ensue in spite of rain, sleet, snow, fog, flying frogs and hail Mary's! Or
is that hail from Mary? No matter, the NCS will be on the air for the pre-Net at
12:45 PM EST, (1745 UTC) regardless of the plight, blight or slight lack of
sunshine. The Net proper will commence at 1:15 PM EST, (1815 UTC). The frequency
will be 14.293 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the horrifying
sound of frosted flakes impacting the Hustler 6BTV and being vaporized in one
sudden spectacular surge of raw power causing those flakes to sizzle like a
weenie being cooked over an Oxygen/Acetylene powered grill when somebody hits
the Nitrous Oxide injection button! Whoosh! Kerboom! To be perfectly frank, that
weenie won't be needing his buns in the future! 		
	
When I came in last night from tuning the newly installed forty and eighty meter
antennas, there were little pieces of Lily Pads and fresh Kelp on my keyboard.
Not to mention a screen saver of a gigantic amphibian driving a Bradley fighting
vehicle across the burning sands of the Iraq desert with guns blazing and
singing "The only good Camel, is one that's smoked. And I am not talking
cigarettes!" Thus, I got the impression that Frogzilla might have been on line,
hopefully not checking out the nude natives on the National Geographic web site
again! When I caught up to him, he had one webbed foot in the chest freezer
trying to pilfer a package of imported jumbo shrimp. I gave him a 35,000 volt
charge of excitement from the stun gun mounted in the business end of my White
Cane, he jumped straight up, banged his green amphibian scalp on the freezer
door, fell forward into the freezer itself and I slammed the lid shut! He is too
ornery to die in there, but I will bet he comes out more stiff than a politician
with over starched boxer shorts on!     	
	
I hope to hear many of you on the Net tomorrow. OOPS, make that later today! It
is after the bewitching hour. Bring a Hallicrafters tale to tell, something to
swap or sell, some facts or fibs and quoteable adlibs. And if you have a snow
shovel handy, bring it too! Hear you then.
