[Hammarlund] Halligan History Heard On Sunday HCI Net!

[Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF]

Be there on Sunday May 15th for some more tidbits from the historical archives
of the Hallicrafters vault of little known moments in the world of electronics.
Propagation permitting, I will once again 'try' to play the portion of the audio
footage where William Halligan, Sr. gets a dance date by smooth talking a young
priest into providing dates for the West Point pleas! You have to hear this, so
bring the XYL and hear a love story for sure!	
	
Join me at 12:45 PM EDT, (1645 UTC) for the HCI pre-Net portion. it will
commence with designated relay station K0EJF getting your electrons jumping by
doing a real heart pounding rendition of famed drummer Sandy Nelson's hit "Teen
Beat" as Jerry uses a pair of matched soldering pencils to create bongo-like
notes from well placed blows on a pair of empty Hallicrafters R-46b speaker
cabinets!    	
	
If you just can not wait for that, you can always join me about 12:22 PM EDT,
(1622 UTC), as I do the weekly training session with the three chubby little
Gerbils and put them through their emergency power drill by flashing an image of
a Pitbull with teeth bared, a black cotton patch over one eye from an encounter
with a Parrot with a sharp beak andferocious barking pumped through a portable
PA system. The overall effect sounds like a whole pack of blood thirsty hounds
snapping their teeth, foaming at the lips and marking their trail with a
distinctive yellow fluid as they chase the Fox some English bloat wants for his
dinner. Ever wonder how the old blind dude squeezes out those last few extra
watts when the QSB gets as deep as the lunchline lies at the barbacued beef and
a beer line at the Dayton Hamvention? Now you know! 	
	
Hang around for the Net proper at 1:15 PM EDT, (1715 UTC). When the designated
Florida relay, KG4KZG, will awake early from his Fourteen hour Sunday snooze,
hack up a couple of hair balls from his XYL's cat that insists on sleeping on
top of the warm transceiver allowing Dale to inhale those feline fibers into his
bronchials and then cough them out decorating the head of the chrome lollipop,
AKA D-104! That won't be an electrolytic blowing its gutts out because it's mate
for life ran off with a Black Beauty, just Dale sneezing and loosening up the
Shack's Aluminum siding and colorful patio stones used for his sidewalk! 	
	
I hope to hear many of you later today, so be there and be counted! Bring a tale
to tell, a story to stretch, an item to sell, a want to be filled, talk with
Gary 'Mr. Parts' Brown, WZ1M live and in the flesh and let's lit up those
wonders that still go glo win the dark! Show up and shout often! Someone will
hear you and relay you on in.	
	
The HCI special event commemorative certificates hit the mailbox on Monday, so
watch for it! Among the bills, junkmail, agencies you have never heard of
pleading for money to save the Polynesian Dung Beetle from extinction, the ARRL
asking for more money to wage war against sun worshipers who are causing an
atypical eleven year solar cycle, there will be this plain brown envelope that
does not contain your copy of Hustler! It is your certificate! Enjoy!
