[Hammarlund] Join HCI 20 Meter Sunday Net

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Yo Homo Sapian, Bi-Pedal, Stereoscopic, Carbon Base Life Forms:

It is I, Frogzilla! So suck up that boat anchor belly, energize that vacuum
space between your ears and listen up! CROAK!

There will be a Sunday January 15th HCI 20 meter Net. Propagation or not,
you can bet your old TI IC chips that the blind Wizard will be there
regardless! I am not sure if it is an incredible sense of purpose and
devotion that drives him or if he has a dead short in his boxers! You know,
like a bad ground!  CROAK! Whatever the case, like a bad habit, he will be
back again!

Sometimes I wonder who, or even what, he is talking to, as I can not hear
anything but what sounds like water rushing over Niagara Falls on that
vintage SX-117 he uses. So either he has some kind of bionic hearing or is
ghost talking!  Isn't that the term you pork free Hams call it when one of
you is pretending to be carrying on a QSO? Then again, maybe he is one human
in fifty million who has no ear wax plugging up his pipes and actually is
hearing somebody. Hmmm. Maybe I will hook the old Hoover up to the suction
hose and see what lurks in my finely tuned aquatic ears. Last time I did
that I got a out a 1960 .90% Silver U.S. Roosevelt dime, some hard as
fossilized dinosaur dung dried lichens and an old fifties type germanium
transistor! (Don't ask where the transistor came from!) After that debris
removal I could hear a Seal flea belch at a thousand meters in a Polar
blizzard!

The pre-Net will commence at 12:45 PM EST, (1745 UTC). The Net proper, (like
it is ever improper?), will begin at the usual 1:15 PM EST, (1815 UTC).
Doubtless the blind Wizard will be on the air earlier doing those "getting
ready" things that one does to be NCS. So if you just can't hang tight and
practice not drifting off frequency, then bellow out your call and he will
probably respond.

The frequency will be 14.293 MHZ lsb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and
the rattling reverberations of ten thousand stomach grumblings from the
burned toast and rotten egg the NCS had for breakfast! He has simply got to
stop eating that prepared food that is so convenient! If he could read what
is in there he would hurl his Oats, or whatever was in that fiber bar thing
he was munching before bed last night. Great actor that he is, (If you have
ever seen his commanding stage presence and incredible ability to
communicate with everyone, you know of what I speak!), he tends to make
things appear better than they truly are. Of what do I elude to? His health.
Frankly, he has been doing poorly for four weeks and I am getting concerned.
Seriously concerned. HCI as you have grown to know it 'may' be coming to an
end. But you didn't hear that from me humans! If he catches me my hide will
be covering a stuffed pillow under his rump when seated at the NCS position!

He had planned to introduce several new features that would be conducted
during the Sunday Net. I believe they are postponed until Sunday January
22nd. Hey! Like when is that big pigskin persecution thing? The Toilet Bowl?
CROAK! Sex and Blood sells, wonder when QST will figure this out?

The 'only' reason I am on his new super computer, thanks to super chip
wizard Aaron Hsu, NN6O, is because the blind dude is spread out in a
recliner like a pile of clean laundry in need of being folded and put away!
Not unusual, except that he is there nineteen hours per day instead of out
of it! Remember, this is a human who sleeps four to five hours per day. I am
not now, nor will I ever be, convinced he is truly human, but that's a tale
for another telling.

Tune in tomorrow and keep those things that go blow in the dark glowing.
Whatever that is supposed to mean! Propagation or not, he will hear you
then! Somehow!

Apologies to KG4NVX and W4WTO for not responding to their electronic
messages. It shall be done!
