I hear K1RT on occasion, but it is not consistent. WB2VVV is on the air with a beam facing NW (forAU)  I hear it at my QTH.  I used t hear W2UTH, butnot heard in a long while. last year.  K1MAP is on and off I think.  I have heard it here.

Jeff,
I'm in the shack with the gear up and running if you wanna try testing on 222? 
I'll be listening with the antenna on FN10DB....


Great talking with you Jeff, some qsb but perfect Q5 signals with your best at 
S7.  Not bad for under 100 watts both ends and 146 miles apart!

Just finished repairs to an iced-damaged 222 yagi at my contest site which I
only visit a few times a year between contests - would anybody be around
this afternoon for a quick test?  I'm in FN10db, 100 watts, high elevation
but the tower is not cranked as I'm working on repairs.  FT8 available as
well.  I'll be here until about 1800 EDT, email or call 610.472.7373.

On a related note, does anyone know if any of these beacons are currently on
the air (cut and pasted from WZ1V's handy list)?

222.050 W2UTH    FN12hv NY Bloomfield   5W to PAR Omni-Angle @ 30'.
222.054 K1MAP    FN32sb MA Hampden      8W to 8 el yagi pointed SW. Dec2022
222.057 WB2VVV   FN43eu NH Campton      10W to omni-Vee dipole 1400' asl.
May2024
222.060 K1RT     FN31IQ CT Washington   20W to dipole 760' ASL
222.060 WA4FC    FM07wu VA Richmond     25W to HO loop @ 60', GPS-locked.

Thanks and 73.
