[Hammarlund] Sunday Halli Net - Frogzilla's Back!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

If your gear glows in the dark, or you do, it has got to be vintage! If you
have an interest in vintage vacuum tube rigs, even if you are not running
Hallicrafters, you are still welcome. Just zip your lips and don't blurt out
a confession that your shorts shrunk, circulation to the brain took a detour
not on the anatomical map and you are on the rice thing!

Yo Homo Sapien Carbon Based Bipedal Life Forms:

It is I, Frogzilla! The amphibian that made Fischer's
backyard pond famous, along with his Hustler 6BTV vertical.
That eighty meter top ortion is ideal for Frog Flinging. AKA
amphibian bungy jumping with no bungy cord! CROAK!

Spring ain't yet sprung and the grass ain't yet riz, and my
Aviary soul mates be in Florida enjoyingsun, surf and
carbonated water fizz! But tell me, like where the shorted
selectivity switch wafers the propagation is?

In any event, solar cycle sewer related or not, I will be co-
hosting the Sunday March 2nd HHI 20 meter Net. So like show
up with your grid dipped or be a square wave!

The blind dude will kick the Pre-Net off at 12:45 PM EST,
(1745 UTC), so drift on in early! The HHI Net proper,
provided the blind wonder reads his Braille watch correctly
and does not confuse a food fleck on the dial face as an
additional Braille dot, will commence at 1:15 PM EST, (1815
UTC). For the time impaired, such as government employees,
or those not having a digital watch, just tune in WWV on 10
MHZ or 15 MHZ!  CROAK!  If you hear a female giving time and
other data and you be tuned to 15 MHZ, dude you have WWVH in
Hawaii! Surf's up! Hang ten! And for your benefit, I hope you
paid that last health and life insurance premium!

The frequency? Like it hasn't changed in over a decade! Is
14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter or some
code free wanderer with a fiber free cereal box ticket
calling "CQ DX" in an adjacent county! CROAK! So just let
that vintage vacuum rig do its thing and drift between 14.292
and 14.293 MHZ and somewhere in that ethereal frequency
fantasy fog the NCS, W8DBF, will be flinging RF into the D
layer of the Ionosphere with that infamous pair of 3-500Z
twins! When the D layer says it Hertz, you know you have the
right takeoff angle on that vertical!

So wander on by, grab a wave and share some fun, facts, Ham
Fest fibs, tech tips, parts to sell, parts to buy or whatever
 with all those super dudes that believe, it ain't real radio
unless it glows! Radium ingestion excluded! That stuff can
make you Homo Sapiens CROAK!

Hear you all tomorrow! turn that vintage vacuum rig on, Tune
us in and let's really screw up digital TV with some Spark
Gap transmissions! CROAK!

Question: What Rock and Roll singer from the fifties or
sixties was named "Frogman"? Name one of his two hit 45 rpm
singles?

Frogzilla
If it's frog free, it ain't wetland approved dude!
