Hey Dave,
Been working on the shack the last few days. I will be on 222/432 this evening.
Also want to test FT* on those freqs.
Hope to work you and others.
Thanks,

Subject: [VHFcontesting] 222 Activity Night
Tuesday has rolled around and that means it is time to turn on your 222 MHz
gear and activate your grid this evening on the 222 MHz band. I dabble in low
band QRP fox hunts. They are advertised as "the fastest 90 minutes in radio".
I think I could say the same thing about 222 Night.
It seems to be the fastest two hors on VHF in the Northeast! Lat week, WA1T and
I hung out i n the hilltop shack and worked 21 stations in two hours of fun.
Good Buddy Ron WZ1V nabbed 27 or 28 contacts from his near shoreline QTH in
Connecticut. He was on a 5 minute per QSO schedule. I don't know about you,
but that is quite a pile of activity.
Activity in other areas is also climbing. The fact that we are in the mid
January VHF doldrums has no effect on the Tuesday night activity. The January
Contest is coming up, so tonight is a good chance to check out your 222 gear.
On Wednesday, you can check out your 432 gear as well. 432 activity centers on
0100-0200 UT. We had some significant snow, but the Sun is shining now at 11:30
AM and temps are at 39 degrees F. I am not sure, but I think I am going to try
slipping and sliding up the hill and get on for all the fun. If the truck will
not make it, I can walk and bring my logging and digi mode laptop with me.
So make plans to be on 222 MHz tonight. After all, the more the merrier!
Don't forget the ON4KST Region 2 144/432 Chat page for setting up skeds. I
hope to hear you on 222.
