[Hallicrafters] Hickory, Tickory, Sock, Don't Miss The Net, Advance the Clock!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Please join us on Sunday March 9th for the HHI 20 meter Net. Remember to set 
the time ahead by one hour at 2:00 AM EST! For a digital time piece that 
lost both its hands to a tiny tuning fork that did not C Sharp, you need to 
expose said watch to a very powerful magnetic field and suck those LCD 
digits forward! Sort of like using that infamous educational toy known as 
the "Etch-A-Sketch". Just keep moving the electromagnetic field around until 
the numeral "2" looks the numeral "3"!

For those who's only regular exercise comes from winding their wrist watch, 
the Vernal Equinox is this month, but that is no reason to spring ahead and 
sprain the main spring! For when it comes to time, one never gets a seconds 
chance!

The HHI Pre-Net will commence at 12:45 PM EDT, (1645 UTC). The Net proper 
kicks off at 1:15 PM EDT, (1715 UTC) The frequency will be the usual 14.293 
MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the ticked off chronometers 
who have their hands emotionally bent because a Homo Sapien neglected to pay 
them proper attention at the appointed hour and twist their stem! A penny 
saved may be three cents earned, provied the penny is dated prior to 1982, 
or even better, 1962! But a second lost is time you won't ever be able to go 
fast enough to gain back! According to Albert Einstein's Special Theory Of 
Relativity.

Hope to hear you tomorrow! If it glows in the dark, it must be vintage, or 
some very old paint for the mailbox that contained Lead flavored with glow 
in the dark Radium phosphors! Before we had zip codes, the mailman could 
find your mailbox in fog, smog, a white out or when his glasses were coated 
with a haze from Lead Tetraethyl emissions by using the mil surplus geiger 
counter mounted where the right headlight used to be!
