[Hallicrafters] Join Halli Sunday Net!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Lots of changes coming! Yes, the old blind dude is going to retire as NCS. 
Not to worry though, I intend to remain present to assist with relay duties, 
as well as an emergency NCS if no other warm body is available!

I also want to rekindle the Wednesday evening Global Glow Roundtable. 
Probably on 20 meters, but possible 40 meters if propagation forces a 
frequency change. Are any of you interested in doing the once very popular 
Global Glow Roundtable again?

I want to spend some time doing research on the military history of 
Hallicrafters. Want to help out? I can sure use some!

I plan to remain active, but I believe it is time for some of you to park 
your rumpus buttacus in the NCS chair and shock the clouds with some wild 
watts from your wonder that still goes glow in the dark.

Sunday July 17th please join us at 12:30 PM EDT, 1630 UTC, for the HHI 
Pre-Net portion. Then hang ten at 1:00 PM EDT, 1700 UTC for the official 
start of the HHI 20 Meter Net. The frequency will be 14.293 MHZ USB +/- for 
key clicks, mike splatter and those adjacent drops and dribbles of chatter 
splatter from friends far and fear. I even got a note from my dear friend, 
and hopefully yours too, K4ZDH, Riley Hollingsworth lately. Hopefully Riley 
will be joing us with some of his fabulous vintage gear, including a kick 
ionospheric dust Hallicrafters station!

Remember: I am going to be pointing the Mosley TA-33 from Michigan 83W to 
the West/northwest from 12:45 PM EDT, 1645 UTC, until 1:00 PM EDT, or 1700 
UTC. Then to the southwest from 1:00 PM EDT, 1700 UTC, until 1:15 PM EDT, 
1715 UTC. Then to the southeast from 1:15 PM EDT, 1715 UTC, until 1:30 PM 
EDT, 1730 UTC. Then northeast from 1:30 PM EDT, 1730 UTC. Finally, back to 
due south from 83W from 1:45 PM EDT, 1745 UTC, until 2:00 PM EDT, 1800 UTC.

I hope to hear many of you tomorrow, so be there or be considered as a 
square wave!

Oh yes, I need a volunteer, Roger, K9DDG, in the northwest to serve as a NCS 
one Sunday a month and as a relay station. I also need a volunteer somewhere 
in the midwest to south central west as a relay station.

IF any of you would like to share the NCS duties one sunday each month, 
contact me, please! If you can not be a NCS, then please consider being a 
designated relay station. Please contact me!

If you would like to help with our fantastic HHI web site, then contact our 
very talented Web Master, W5JT, Jim Thayer.

We are going to "attempt" to do a special section for the web site on 
Hallicrafters involvement during WW2, the Korean War and the VietNam war. 
Anything you can contribute will be much appreciated! Be it stories from 
when you were there. Materials on Hallicrafters equipment, photos etc.

Thank you for your participation over the years, as without you none of it 
would have been possible.

Hear you tomorrow and keep those wonders that still go glow in the dark 
glowing.
