[Hallicrafters] Tune In Halli Net On Sunday!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Please join us on Sunday January 27th for the HHI 20 meter Net. Tune us in 
live with a glow in the dark vacuum tube receiver or via the web radio link 
on the HHI web site. You can find the Halligan's Hallicrafters International 
web site at:

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

The frequency is still 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and 
an assortment of audio tones as excited vintage rig owners forget they are 
on the Net's frequency while they are twisting those ancient plastic knobs 
to load their TX! Who invented that notch filter anyhow?

Lately the band seems to abruptly shift faster than a slick tongued used car 
salesman trying to peddle an Edsel as a sound investment! So if you can not 
hear the NCS, just wait ten minutes and the ionosphere will belch changing 
the EMF and MUF, polarity will reverse and you may actually hear the HHI 
Net! So don't give up if you can only enjoy splatter, dead air or what 
sounds like a Pig caught under the Porker's Play Pen exit gate! Things will 
change!

Have any of you taken advantage of the very long daytime 20 meter DX paths 
this past week? Such as the Madeira Island group from the Slokak Republic 
on/about 14.260 MHZ at 1700-1900 UTC?

I hope to hear many of you tomorrow. So show up and keep me awake!
