As always, all flavors of vintage gear are always welcome -
Please join us for the Sunday April 27th Hallicrafters Collectors International
20 meter Net. Propagation being whatever it is at that moment in time, I will be
there fearlessly flinging electrons into the ionosphere via various antennas
who's sole purpose for existence is to foil the propagation phantom. Join me for
the pre-Net at 12:45 PM EDT, (1645 UTC), when I will unleash a formidable flurry
of positively charged particles that will shred the phantom's loin cloth into
smaller pieces than a government office paper shredder can bite off and spit
out! He will be so busy trying to cover up his parabolic curves that he won't
have time to bounce the Hallicrafters waves around like the Harlem Globe
Trotters practicing their patented trick shots.
Then hang ten QRP watts for the Net proper at 1:15 PM EDT, (1715 UTC). While the
propagation phantom is busy trying to hide his exposed groin parabolas from the
hair follicle dissolving acid rain and skin scorching solar radiation leaking
through the Ozone layer with more holes than Swiss cheese used as a shotgun test
target, I will blow the wire wound wig off his diode detector and turn his first
I.F. into his last rites!
The frequency will be 14.293 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the
panic stricken pathetic pleas of the propagation phantom fleeing in variable
frequency fear of his oscillator circuit being turned into a baby food beet
blender! His shrieks of neutralized polarization falling on dead audio amplifier
transformers as his atomic structure is reformed into a sickly black LA smog
born rain cloud and then seeded with Exlax to clear his rumbling spaghetti
tubing of gaseous heterodynes. Tomorrow, Hallicrafters that still go glow in the
dark shall prevail and the propagation phantom shall need a lot of DeOxant D5
treated toilet paper! If I can't scare the skip out of him, then I will most
assuredly keep him so preoccupied that his influence will be no more than a
microscopic yellow speck on the underwear of life!
I plan to hear many of you tomorrow, make that later today! Be there or be
asymetrical like a loctal tube in a nuvistor socket!
