[Hallicrafters] Sunday Halli Net Despite Snowing And Blowing!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Let me first thank each of you who have called via landline the past ten 
days or written me by e-mail to check on my well being. Yes there are major 
health issues. Yes there are major computer problems. Yes my ISP's new 
anti-junk mail filter is filtering everything out BUT the junk! Yes my 
primary telephone line went down, literally! If I could 'see' to get a bead 
on that freckled fickle Finch of "It Ain't Paradise!" bird circling over the 
Ham Shack, well, there would be feathers fluttering down, not snowflakes!

Join us tomorrow Sunday December 9th for the Halligan's Hallicrafters 
International 20 meter Net. (AKA: HHI) The forecast calls for flakes to be 
falling and high winds things lofting, hopefully not my antennas or roof 
shingles!

The Pre-Net will commence at 12:45 PM EST, (1745 UTC) and the HHI Net proper 
at 1:15 PM EST, (1815 UTC).

The frequency will be 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and 
the wind whistlin' Dixie through the forty foot high Scotch Pines south of 
the Shack. Getting a bit tired of that same song, would be nice if those 
Conifers would learn a new tune!

Last Sunday my friend, and hopefully yours, K4ZDH, Riley Hollingsworth tried 
to join us with his beautiful HT-37 from his home in PA. But the propagation 
was so blasted long that I think I worked myself on a mix of back scatter 
cloud splatter and long path! Hopefully tomorrow the band will shorten up a 
thousand miles so I can work someone other then those who llive in Maine, 
Florida, Washington or California!

If you can help by serving as a relay station, just let me know! All 
assistance is appreciated.

Unrelated: Any of you have a vintage Dual model 710 or 720 turntable? How 
does the cartridge part of the tonearm come off?

Hear you tomorrow! Be there or be a square wave!
