Dave & All,
I did not hang in for much of the 222 activity night this week as I had other
things pressing that were ignored during the tropo opening. But to answer your
question about what others may have worked, I include below my 222 log for the
past week. During the opening, which is still on-going, (but I am now outside
the influence) I added 11 new 222MHz states and 14 new grids. I had similar
numbers on the 2m and 70cm bands as well. In the past week, I logged 98
contacts on 2m, 1.25m & 70cm, covering 21 states plus 2 DX countries. Here is
only the 222MHz portion of my last 7 day log.

Number of QSO listed: 21
I tried with many stations beyond my normal range and struck out on all
attempts. K3SK was tried on Q65 for a few minutes. KB8VAO on CW and K8TQK on
CW. Nothing heard other than a few meteors. I never did run into KO4YC. W8ZN
said I was the weakest that he has ever heard me. I must admit that signals on
that path were pretty poor. SSB would have been almost impossible. Still,
VE3DS was booming in here and he runs rather low power, We switched to SSB and
had a nice chat. I figured that things might be good that way, but nothing
else was heard.
Of course, the midwest was still swimming in tropo as the high pressure system
is rather stuck there and not moving, just rotating a bit.It might go on for
another two days!! Things in the North were not so hot.
It would be nice to hear some reports on what was worked!!!
