[Hammarlund] Remember Sunday HCI 20 Meter Net

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Warm up those Hallicrafters that still go glow in the dark and join me on Sunday
February 10th for the Hallicrafters Collectors International 20 meter Net. It
will begin with the pre-Net at 12:45 PM EST, (1745 UTC). I will be on the air at
12:30 PM EST, (1730 UTC) The HCI Net officially starts at 1:15 PM EST, (1815
UTC). The frequency will be 14.293 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and
raucous misguided Canadian Honkers who flew south to NC, found snow, picked up
some stray RF which confused their magnetic compass, turned back and have
claimed my woods as their personal rest area. 	
	
It has been asked, what constitutes an antique radio? Is there a defining moment
in time that delineates this crossover point? Bring your answer and join us.   	
	
If you had to pick the best general coverage receiver that Hallicrafters built,
which one would it be and why?			
	
I appreciate all of your great support, participation and contributions of
information to the world of Hallicrafters, and vintage gear in general. I hope
to talk with many of you tomorrow on the HCI 20 meter Net. Hear you then.	
	
Have any of you QSO'ed with the Ham in Iceland this past week or heard Radio
Nigeria on SW doing news in English? Great stuff!
