Please join us on Sunday February 22nd for the HHI (Halligan's Hallicrafters
International) 20 meter Net. Since it is also the birthdate of our first
President, George Washington, admission for the Net will be one .90% Silver
dollar, either Morgan or Peace, thrown through the east window of the Ham
Shack! Since the old blind dude is a coin collector, a Numismatic
specialist, I can smell the differences between those Eisenhower
Copper/Nickel clad fakes and the 40% Silver Copper/Nickel clad dollars! Just
drop one on a hard surface and listen! Only a .90% Silver dollar has that
high pitched ring to it when it impacts a solid surface! The others have a
sort of metallic thud or thunk, woe to us, even those with a Silver content
of 40%! So don't try to take me out with a counterfit slug or Canadian
dollar coin that only contained .80% Silver! Besides one can feel the hair
on the queen's legs! (LOL!)
The Pre-Net commences at 12:45 PM EST, or 1745 UTC. The HHI Net proper
starts at 1:15 PM EST, or 1815 UTC.
The frequency is 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and some
lost sole afoot calling "CQ Contest" and rattling a tin cup with the letters
ARRL emblazened on its time worn, and atmospherically tarnished sides,
sociliting funds to fight some law or another that may, or may not, have
anything to do with Amateur Radio. Ya gotta read that fine print guys!
Listen for us from 14.292 MHZ up through 14.293 MHZ usb. For somewhere among
those cycles a plenty, we are present!
Here is hoping to hear many of you tomorrow, so be there and be counted
among the living and those who still dare to go glow in the dark!
