Subject: [222Activity] 222 Activity Night

Hello VHFers

Don't forget that this day is really and actually Tuesday, We all want to make 
it a fantastic evening with as many people on the air and making noise on the 
222 MHz band.  If you have 222 MHz gear but always seem to be busy on Tuesday 
night, that is no excuse for missing this episode of
222 Night.  The following are excuses that will not be allowed this evening:

I am doing Wordle
I was watching Gilligan's Island
I got watching Youtube videos and stupid people tricks Locusts have descended 
onto my corn field My cat just had a litter of  kittens I need to watch my 
smart phone My son just won the Nobel Prize for molecular biology. We are going 
to Oslo.
My daughter just got out of prison and we are picking her up tonight.

The following are the only acceptable excuses for missing 222 Night.

I dropped dead two nights ago. Sorry but I can't make 222 night this time.  
Sincere apologies and it won't happen again.
My entire 222 station is temporarily taken apart and is going on an EME/ MS  
dxpedition to Wyoming. It is being back packed up Pilot Peak with batteries.

If none of your excuses fit the above two correct excuses, you are obliged to 
make the effort and get on the 222 band and try to make a contact.  If you do 
go to Wyoming and pick a different peak, you might still be excused, but the 
ruling is subject to the Board of Directors of the 222 MHz band. Action starts 
after dinner and goes for as long as conditions warrant.  222.100 is the 
calling frequency.

If you are in a lightly populated hamster area, you should check the ON4KST 
(Region 2 144/432 Chat)  chat page and try to set up skeds.

I am hoping to be on a bit before 23:00 UT. The Hepburn map looks dismal, so 
what is better than to prove the map wrong and make a good contact on 222!!

CU There
