[Hallicrafters] Propagation Forecast Promising For Sunday HCI Net!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

If the space weather people who predict what old Sol shall do, or not do, or do
do whatever whenever he pleases are correct, then there should be no solar
burps, flaming hiccups or corona induced gaseous gastric disturbances for the
HCI Sunday August 28th 20 meter Net, just proper propagation and dialogues that
do not contain the terms "QSB", "fast fade" and "Where the pickled Lizard's
gizzard did he go?" So please park it, put the pointer on '14.292 MHZ' and let's
let those vintage waves glow and grow!	
	
The pre-Net portion will commence at 12:45 PM EDT, (1645 UTC). This is the time
frame when one is most apt to hear a diverse assortment of out of key, off key
and no key whistles and others making a long drawn out mispronounced mutilation
of the word "Hello". Most commonly said as "Haaaaaaaaaaaay-Lo as they attempt to
adjust the output power of their tube transmitter or amplifier for the max. So
just jump right in and hum along as we accidentally emulate the sound made by
the planet's largest defective electrolytic capacitor!	
	
Then hang ten, or how ever many toes you still have after those surfing years
and the hungry fish that like to taste test toes and snacked on several, and
join us for the HCI 20 meter Net proper starting at 1:15 PM EDT, (1715 UTC).
Rumor has it that Gary 'Mr. Parts' Brown, WZ1M may show up and offer up for
adoption some very rare cobweb covered capacitors he found mixed in with fishing
lures stored in a quart Mason jar with bits of paraffin still showing around the
somewhat rusty metal lid your Grandmother used to put the garden vegetables she
canned in so you had food during the Winter. Hey, this sucker could be
collectable! Your bid, gentlemen?  	
	
The frequency will be 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the
rattling reverberations of ten thousand displaced Nomadic thunders - Not really,
it is my stomach grumbling and rumbling protesting its emptiness, because the
part of a pizza I planned to eat left my plate without human intervention! I
guess that green stuff offsetting the pinkness of the pepperoni was not green
pepper after all!   	
	
Here is hoping to hear many of you Sunday! Warm them up! Light those tubes!
Forget the garden, so what if the electromagnetic field of glow stunts the green
beans growth! Blame it on the high acidic content of the humus where your
ex-wife used to spit her chewing tobacco juice! 	
	
Be there! Be counted! Sometimes being just a number is important dude!
