It is with great sadness that I must report I will not be active again this
week. Although I have made great progress recovering from the wind damage
here in FM07, I'm just not quite there yet. Today I got the 222 and 432
antennas installed on the H-Frame but the huge air-gap between my mast mounted
LNAs and the antennas is just to big for the RF to get to or from the antennas
to the rig. I should have it complete Wednesday or Thursday and then be
fully operational. So tune up your equipment and polish your antennas for
next Tuesday and point them toward FM07.
Here's what things look like as of this evening:

Subject: Re: [222Activity] [VHFcontesting] 222 MHz tonite
Yes it is Tuesday, so tonight is the night to get on 222 MHz with your
modulated oscillators and regen detectors in hopes of making a contact. K8RYU
promises to be QRV, and is beyond my normal range, but no harm in trying to
make a sked. I hope to be QRV starting at about 23:45 UT on 222.100 CW or SSB.
As people show up I will move off of 222.100 MHz. Try not to rag chew on the
calling freq, as stations well away from activity centers will use 100 to try
to draw attention to themselves. I move up off 222.100 after 00:00 UT as
people start showing up.
Don't forget the ON4KST Chat page either. It can be useful for lining up skeds.
(Pick 144/432 Region 2 chat) Also remember that K1ZK and WA3EOQ might be on
later after 0200 UT. I am planning a quick trip up the tower in hopes of
correcting a VSWR issue. It finally stopped raining. My hope is to work a
bunch of stations this evening. Don't forget.....Toosday on too twenty too.
