Things were percolating along on 222, as my repairs seemed to have
removed the high VSWR problems. Still I felt that things were not very
good as signals were never loud as on many other nights. I noted that
the K2DLL beacon in FN23 was very weak and watery. I had a near miss
with WA3SSG hearing him calling but then he faded out and I never heard
him again. Still the activity levels were up there. I worked 28
stations including two long haul EME contacts with N0AKC and VE6TA.
W7JW was also listening on the Moon and is hearing great but only has
20 watts. I tried listening for him with no luck. My RX is a bit off as
my tower mtd preamp is being repaired at the moment. Here is my log for
the evening.

I tried a CW sked with K8MR in EN91 with no luck. I may have heard
something but there was nowhere near enough to hope for a contact. I
was pleased to work Roger, W3SZ for his first foray on 222 Night . He
claims to have not followed my advice in my reminder note. I had
mentioned that you should all dust off your rigs and put down your bongs
and get on the air. Roger figures that keeping the bong in play will
make for a much better evening all around. He claims that if he partakes
enough, he can decode Q65 signals by ear. He is working on whistling the
tones on transmit, but has not quite perfected it yet. He has not
completed a whistled contact yet. Keep up the good work Roger and
thanks for getting on!
