Wow! That is quite a list, GB Ron.  I worked most of the stations that you worked, but never heard N2SLO, WA2LTM, or N1MIW.   I did work WA1T so I guess I worked 26 stations on 222. That is one more than last week, and I suspect we will have an over 30 QSO 222 nite here in the next month as weather improves and more fellows get back on.  My contact with WA3EOQ was about as weak as it gets while still working him. He was only copyable on occasional CW peaks.  On two sequences, I heard nil.   WA3NUF was louder than normal and W1XR was very loud but then faded way down on SSB. K1PXE was quite loud this evening too. I missed the western NY and VE stations this time.  It is always fun to work our Canadian brothers. I am hoping warm weather brings increased activity.  I am also waiting for another aurora session. We are due and it is around the equinox, a great time for AU.

I noted that K3WHC and K4LY were able to work via tropo on FT8. That distance is in the high 400's. A good contact indeed. I believe that WA3EOQ also worked Doug, K4LY.  I heard no unusual DX this evening. I tried FT8 for a bit. Stations heard included WZ1V, WA3NUF, WA4YA, and W1UJ. That was all.
