Good Buddy Dave:
Congrats on being the first to break the 30 QSO barrier !
You raised the bar and surpassed it, thanks for encouraging
all of us to be active on the band !

Subject: Re: [VHFcontesting] 222 Activity night
> Hello 222 ops
Here is a summary of 222 activity heard and worked from Maine for the
Tuesday night after Christmas. Activity was great, and it was great also
to hear K1TEO on and working lots of good stuff from his perch in
western Connecticut. Good Buddy Ron WZ1V was on early and was beating
the band to death. My antenna is still messed up with one of the four
yagis twisted way off the boresight setting by about 35 or 40 degrees.
It still seems to work OK.
After awhile, I looked at the QSO list and it was getting close to 30
contacts, which would be a first for me for a Tuesday night. K2RMX got
on late and called me for #29 then I was called by KC2SGV on SSB. It
took me quite awhile to get his call correct but then condx improved and
he came up out of the noise and was Q5. That was #30, and WA4YA made 31
on FT8. The QSB was pretty deep this evening. I noticed it on many
signals including WA3EOQ who was not audible at the start of our sked.
When we finished then K1PXE called him, and then Howard peaked up and
was Q5 for an entire 30 second transmission. That was pretty cool.
K1RZ was making lots of noise with his new setup. He was running about
55 to 569 here when I heard him. I also copied him on FT8. I never heard
K3SK in FM07. I did listen for Dave when he was transmitting. It just
did not work. It seems that there was a bit of enhancement in southern
New England, and some really good condx down towards Florida. A few nice
contacts were made down in that area. Hopefully, we will get a report.
Here is the log...
