[Hallicrafters] Join Sunday Halli 20 Meter Net!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Please join us on Sunday January 8th for the HHI 20 meter Net. All flavors, 
scents and brands are welcome. Provided they have the Orange Drops in them 
that are not suitable for human consumption!

The time is from 12:30 - 2:00 PM EST/EDT or 1730 - 1900 UTC.

The frequency is still 14.293 MHZ USB +/- for those annoying Key Clicks, 
Mike Splatter and babbling brook utterings drifting up from the bottom 
feeders on 14.295! I think that guys beam is stuck on my precise Long./Lat.!

I hope to hear many of you tomorrow! Maybe KG4KZG, Dale, will stop wrenching 
on his hot rod Jeep long enough to give his AL-1500 or the SB-220 some 
overdue exercise! (Chuckle!)

                       When Radio Waves


                                  By Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF


Has your Hallicrafters recently complained that it Hertz
when it takes a sudden dip? Have you heard microphonic vacuum
tube oscillations that were anything but angelic four part
harmony? Have you experienced an inexplicable desire to
put words to that soft steady ripple emulating from the power
transformer and hum along? Do you have an almost irresistible
desire to lick one of those geometrical out of round
crystalline covered granular Orange Drop candies with legs?
Do you experience an almost magnetic attraction to her that
fine tunes your capacitance to the point that you can no
longer resistor? Do you get all choked up if adjacent chatter
splatter drowns out that faint far away feminine voice your
auditory frequency lock was on and she slowly slips below the
threshold of the noise floor into the vacuum of that
solderless abyss of the solar cycle sewer. You push, he
pulls, and the sinking signal starts to surface as the RF
gains and the QRN wanes! Above the high Q tidal tug of the
moon upon the Ionospheric Ocean the signal ebbs and flows as
the AVC matches crest with trough. With fingers deft you trim
the antenna closer then your barber blends your sideburns
into those sunburned spots where ultraviolet rays left their
Coronal brand! Though the capacity for love is infinite, it
takes a variable capacitor with friction free precision
family bearings to separate good signals from disruptive QRM!
Some call it mode, some call it mood, but in either case, the
selected band is one of Gold energized for maximum flow by
love. The one factor of the ERP that no doctor has yet been
able to balance both sides of the infinity/entropy equation
equally with without discovering another lover existing in
yet another mother to be of a newborn parallel universe with
binary suns and trinary sons! Then just as you were finally
about to make Data contact with that ARRL sponsored satellite
orbiting the gigantic moon of Jupiter known as Ganymede, the
rectifier tube did a total melt down! Sometimes we weep with
joy, sometimes we weep for Joy and other times there is no
joy
just an overpowering impulse to flush everything that you own
that even remotely resembles a radio down the bathroom
toilet!
