[Hallicrafters] Remember Saturday HCI 40 Meter Net

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Please join us on Saturday October 4th for the HCI 40 meter Net. The pre-Net
will begin at 12:30 PM EDT, (1630 UTC). The Net itself commences at 1:00 PM EDT,
(1700 UTC). The frequency will be 7.280 Mhz lsb +/- for key clicks, mike
splatter and the sound of my toilet burping! Yes, thanks to the county road
commission and their scrub and paint eh inside of the sewer lines, we now have
porcelin thrones that talk to us. Just pull the handle down and wait to see what
happens as the water rushes out and the surprises rush in! 	
	
The compressed air they are using is so powerful that when that mechanical sewer
rat of their's goes by the sewer outlet line from a house, it blows some air up
that pipe. The air is intended to cut roots off that have grown through the
concrete sides of the sewer pipes. Talk about a blast! If you have the toilet
seat and lid down, the air blows them up like a volcano going off, but instead
of red hot lava spewing into the atmosphere and sulfurous fumes choking all life
forms in a ten mile radius to death, you get pungent sewer gas and putrid brown
water splattering your walls and cieling! Where you do not want to be, is
sitting on your throne when this happens! Guaranteed to cure constipation for
life! 	
	
If you have never had this wonderful aplication of robotic sewer rat technology
in your community, just wait! It is coming. No, I am not inventing this, it is
for real.  When it first happened here I thought my toilet was possessed! Water
that would gag a bottom feeder was spewing out of my toilet, it was roaring with
this unearthly sound like some ravenously starving alien who had you on his menu
and the house smelled like one of those porta-johns at the county fair after
five hundred people had used it after the toilet paper ran out on a day that was
100F outside and 135F inside!   	
	
The toilet kept belching like a Brontosaurus who had eaten some bad fungus
forlunch and spurting water out like one of those Yellowstone geysers. Then it
sounded like it was gargling with hydrogen peroxide, choked on the foam and
hurled the contents of its bowels over the smoked glass sliding shower doors,
splattered off the white tiled walls and then filled up the tub with a foul
liquid that would make one of those clay lined toxic land fill pools of
industrial poison look like the YMCA anti-fungal foot bath! More disgusting than
waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror and seeing green moss like crud
dangling from your incisors! Should have brushed after eating that all green
vegetable pizza before going to bed!   	
	
So be warned ye lovers of things that still go glow in the dark, that weird
background sound like a blender with a nitrous oxide booster kicking in is just
my toilet being tormented by the wonders of sewer cleaning technology that is
causing me to wear a path to the old Pine woods with my tattered Sears and
Roebuck catalog. Yes I remember there is poison ivy out there not too far from
the forty foot TV tower that supports the IAC forty and eighty meter double
bazooka antennas, but a butt rash is better than having every hair on your body
being burned off by a blast of sewer gas that could defoliate N. Korea! 	
	
I hope to hear some of you above the roar of this super sewer robotic rodent, so
take advantage of the good propagation being forecast for tomorrow and join us.
And I don't want any of those smart remarks tomorrow about my signal stinking
either! Maybe Mr. Robo-Rodentia will visit your neighborhood next. When it does,
an outhouse suddenly takes on an entirely new importance and actually looks and
smells appealing. Remember, I can find you on qrz.com and 'IT' is gps guided.
Not that I would accidentally reprogram its sewer trail trek map to your house
