Hi 222 VHFers Hot and muggy in the northeast, but I hope to be QRV for 222 activity night and hope any thunderstorms do not chase me off. Having a shack on a rocky ridge during a thunderstorm does no
Paul, It sounds like you got a lot done. It also sounds like you definitely had fun working some stations on the VHF bands. From the notes you provided. I would think that your 222 and 432 stuff is
Just two days after the big June VHF Contest. I know everybody is probably sick to death of working 50 MHz DX. You would most likely rather do anything but more ham radio, but it is 222 Night! I w
Well I was very happy that Fred N1DPM showed up for 222 activity night. We had a nice rag chew and signals were 59+ each way. Fred's signal was outstanding. I listened to Fred run with KO4YC near Ri
Hello Jay I have a series resistor in the HV line (after the capacitors). It is a big 100 watt power resistor. I was thinking of ditching the HV fuse entirely and putting a small low voltage fuse in
I don't know, but it sure looks like that is a great score on both bands when you consider the power level and antlers. 97 grids on 50 looks darn good. Congratulations. Dave K1WHS Ok, from my meager
Hi Pete, Well, I wasn't rolling on the floor laughing when it happened. I went looking for my hard hat and ducked as the shrapnel flew around behind the rack! The good news is that the amp is OK. I
It is Tuesday and that means that there will be all sorts of activity on 222 MHz. If you want to check out the latest update to your 222 setup, tonight is THE night to check it out. KA2LIM in western
That is a problem. Being able to get chest x-rays is best done in a hospital or doctor's office, not in your ham shack! Dave K1WHS On 6/22/2021 11:01 AM, Dave N9HF wrote: I will try to be on tonight
Hello Alex, I spent some time on 222.100 as did a few others including WZ1V and VE3DS while running a sked or two. I tend to stay off it during high activity periods, but your idea is a good one if e
Hello 222 MHz denizens, This just a reminder that tonight is 222 MHz Activity Night. I am making a special trip to my shack from camp at lakeside where the water temps are about 72 and the breeze is
I thought you were a bit weaker than W1AIM. Now I know why!!! Dave K1WHS On 6/30/2021 11:33 AM, Paul Wade W1GHZ wrote: Conditions seemed bad last nite. I realized this morning that the problem was a
My place was hit on 6/30 with an apparent microburst that did tremendous damage. Many trees are down and one large white pine came down right across the west guy anchor of my 130 ft rohn 45 144 MHz
Hi VHF hams This is a reminder that it is Tuesday and a good evening to dust off your 222 MHz gear and try it out. You can check out that new preamp that you just installed. If you have an old Heat
Another fascinating evening on 222 MHz. One of the advantages of constant activity on any band is that you can get familiar with the equipment and immediately can tell if a problem develops. Having s
Hello VHFers, Get ready for the fantastic operating event called 222 Activity Night. Circle your calendar for the evening of July 13th. Way back in the dark ages, VHF activity nights were the norm.
Tonight is 222 Activity Night. I try to be QRV around the calling frequency between about 7P to 10 PM local time. I had mentioned that KA6U might be on to add a little spice for those on the East Co
Hello Paul Well, that is one mystery that has been solved. I heard you calling me, so I called you on CW and then switched to my small 2 X8 element yagis that were pointing NW, but only heard noise.
Hello VHFers and 222 addicts. I have been out straight either cutting down big trees, or fishing. While working on my destroyed tower, my ladder lost its' footing and started to slip and fall. I scr
It looks like N1BUG was a big winner for 222 night, catching 12 QSOs from northern Maine. That is a very impressive total. Thanks for being there Mr BUG! For my part, I was on at a bit after 7 PM loc
