Subject: Re: [222Activity] 222 sked 11/11?
Hi Jay & 222 ops,
I was hoping to make some noise on Monday afternoon/evening. My Moon rise is
at 19:15 UT. You will have Moon a short time later, and just before 20:00 UT.
Maybe there might be others who want to try a rising Moon attempt at 222 MHz
for Monday night? All it takes is a decent yagi and low loss feedline or an
antenna mtd preamp. I will be on HB9Q Chat for 222 MHz and will also monitor
ON4KST chat as well. I have worked a few stations with single yagis and it is
quite possible if things line up. 250 watts is good, but I have worked WA3EOQ
with his single 16 el yagi and 85 watts in the shack. We needed a few tries
before everything lined up. The typical mode is Q65B-60 I usually go 2nd and
frequency will be around 222.080. Let me know, so I can plan.
On Tuesday night, (222 Activity Night) things usually get going around
00:00 UT or 7 PM on the East Coast. The Moon will be a ways up then, so no
rising Moon tries are possible unless you live in Hawaii!! At 00:00 UT the
Moon is up at 43 degrees in Maine and well up across the country.
I can run earlier if anyone wants to try, but I do plan to be around on Monday
afternoon starting at 19:30 or so. That is 2:30 PM on the East Coast.
