[Hallicrafters] Join HHI Saturday 40 Meter Net

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Please join us on Saturday January 13th for the Halligan's Hallicrafters 
International 40 meter Net. Speaking of "international", where have all the 
Canadian stations gone to? We used to have a good number of VE3 check ins, 
some VE4 and once in a while a VE2. Maybe the skip does not stop here 
anymore!

The pre-Net is at 12:30 PM EST, (1730 UTC). This is the time during which 
uncounted unidentified stations tune up on top of whomever is trying to 
engage in a QSO, but never join us!  Heck it is not even a good tune up 
frequency for band cruising and "How's my signal hittin' ya?"!

The Net proper commences at 1:00 PM EST, (1800 UTC). The frequency is 7.280 
MHZ lsb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and sometimes heard suspected 
Alien transmissions using a never before heard form of CW. Actually just a 
straight key with a tension return spring that has a nervous twitch from 
failing tensile strength generating some dots, dashes and "what the heck was 
dat dit, dah?"

We hope to hear you tomorrow, so check on in and say "Hey!". The HHI Net 
reports will now list your TX and RX, or transceiver, so if it is vintage or 
not, please let whomever the NCS is, know.

If you have not gotten the final HHRP releases, check the web site and do 
so!
