Flipper Featured In Ocean Life Illustrated Swim Suit  Edition


                                  By Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF



Rumors, as yet unsubstantiated, have been heard from
generally unreliable sources, claiming that an unnamed
publisher plans to release an annual swim suit edition of
Boat Anchors Illustrated beginning as soon as he gets out of
prison for insider trading violations. I guess those NOS 1L6
for the old Zenith Trans-Oceanic were hotter than I thought!
But I did not realize a Japanese firm who was producing the
modern day version of the old JAN Sylvania 1L6, was
actually selling stock to underwrite their retrograde
production costs of the components from the past. When this
individual was tipped off by a renegade TV-7D operator who
had a serious gas problem, he dumped his shares of Bikini
Island organic garden stock and contacted Martha Stewart as
to what colors to make the boxes to hold the tubes so as to
be visually appealing to the American vintage radio
population. Supposedly she suggested Radium Red and Near
Death Gray!

The first issue of this forthcoming annual publication
promises to have more curves in it than a Rocky Mountain
highway! It is my understanding that the models posing for
the Hallicrafters equipment are all the "better luck next
year" runners up to those females that made the Sports
Illustrated swim suit edition. The poses are said to be
provocative, much like the bloated prices those electronic
auctions have generated. Whether these replacement parts are
worth their weight in Bikini Island glow in the dark Lizard
lips or not, the ads may be more exciting than accidentally
soldering the fly on your Levis zipper to the metal top of
the work bench! As this publication nears actual printing and
release, I am confident that the ARRL will try to sell
advance copies like they hound you to renew your annual
membership five months before it expires.

Join us for the last Summer edition of the HHI 20 meter Net
on Sunday September 18th. The pre-Net starts at 12:30 PM EDT,
(1630 UTC). The Net proper commences at 1:00 PM EDT, (1700
UTC).  The frequency will be 14.293 Mhz usb +/- for key
clicks, mike splatter and the electrical crackling in many
transceivers from human neurons trying to imagine how Pamela
Anderson looks holding a Hallicrafters CRX-101 hand held
to cover private areas while playing nude beach ball bingo.
Now that static just might be worth listening to!

I hope to hear many of you tomorrow, so be there! It was an
absolutely beautiful day here in Michigan today, there have
only been three this year, so remembering them is not
difficult! Bright sunshine, 82F and a light breeze. More of
the same for tomorrow. Sigh. Maybe I will go to the beach,
just to practice my BINGO skills ...
