[Hallicrafters] Remember Saturday and Sunday Halli Special Event!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello All,

Please mark your calendars for Saturday December 6th and Sunday December 
7th! Myself and others will be hosting a very Halligan Happy Birthday Bill 
special event to commemorate his 110th birthday. Actually it is Monday 
December 8, 1898, but since some of us actually have to work for a living, 
we are doing it over the weekend.

The Saturday 40 meter portion will be on 7.280 MHZ lsb +/- from 10:00 AM EST 
until 3:00 PM EST. (1500 UTC until 2000 UTC).

There will also be some AM operating! I will post the times and frequencies 
tomorrow!

There will be 20 meter activity on Sunday on 14.293 MHZ usb +/- from 10:30 
AM EST until 5:30 PM EST. (1530 UTC until 2230 UTC)

Because the Vintage SSB Net commences at 3:00 PM EST, (2000 UTC) the Special 
Event will change frequencies for the last 2.5 hours of the event! I will 
announce this frequency on Friday December 5th.

There will also be some AM operating on Sunday. I will post the times and 
frequencies tomorrow. For the moment it looks like forty meters only. 
Anybody want to run AM on 75/80 Meters?

I thought we had someone operating on 15 meters, but so far, no commitment. 
Anyone want to run a few hours either Saturday or Sunday, or both, on 15 
meters?

A special QSL card is being designed for the Happy Birthday Halligan event. 
It will show the callsign of "W9WZE".

If 'you' would like to help, let me know! I am hoping to hear many of you 
over the weekend. So stop by and wish Bill a Happy Halli Birthday!
