Hi 222 fans,

I hauled and burned White Pine brush all day, so was rather tired by 7 PM. Activity was pretty good and I ended up with about 24 QSOS. My best DX was K3SK worked on Q65B-30. He peaked at about -20 which is right at the threshold of hearing and possibly working on CW. There seemed to be some long haul enhancement down the coast, but it was very slight.  K3SK is about 925 km or almost 575 miles.  I worked pretty much the same crew as GB Ron WZ1V. I don't have my log in front of me, but I would add WW1Z, WA1T, and W1XR in FM19 to the list.  Two more stations were in there as well. I missed KD2LGX  in FN13, but did work W9KXI with normal signals 55-56 on SSB. Some were complaining that prop to the West was poor.  I did not try any sleds out into Indiana or Michigan. I think all that brush burning had taken its toll.  I quit about 9 PM and tried to watch the end of the VP debate, but lost interest really fast. All those flapping jaws produced so much of nothing for me. Snarky hosts were fun to watch as well.

I have gotten a few comments about interesting QSOs. but more entries are needed.  The 222 MHz Activity Committee is lining up a great prize for the winner of the best QSO for the evening.  It might be a vehicle of some sort.
