Hi Mike
I wish I was there. Temps in the morning have been hovering around
zero. The last few days warmed up to the 20's and it felt good compared
to 3 or 4 degrees and wind! I am getting my ham radio fix on 160. I
made a few QRP contacts to DL8LAS, OK1CF, and G3PQA, when things were
good. I'll bet Paul W1GHZ, has a hard time thinking of me as being on QRP!

Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear you won't be on but I totally understand. Now that the
really cold temps (-45 windchill) of the last few weeks are
moderating, I've traveled to Camp in FN44ar. It's a balmy 22 degrees
with Sun! Shack was 25 degrees but is warming up nicely and I'll set
up radios/amps in a little bit. The Hearth Stone stove is cranking in
Camp :-}
I'll be on 222 tonight starting around 7. I'll be hanging out on ON4KST.

Hi VHFers,
This is a friendly reminder that today is 222 Night, so make some
plans to show up right after dinner. I had been starting at 2300 UT
in the early winter before the shack became inaccessible. It was
really dark by then, and an early start made sense. I would always
run in to W1XR or W9KXI, so I know that some people are listening.
You can get on any time, but I know that activity in the northeast
USA is usually over around 02:30 UT or 9:30 local time here on the
East coast. I am chomping at the bit to get on, but, with the last
storm, travel through the woods now requires snow shoes. I have no
way to haul any gear. This is making me plan to get things back
together as soon as enough snow melts so I can get back up there.
Maybe I can be there for mid March? That is only a month and a half
now. It all depends on Mother Nature!
So warm up the gear and make some noise on 222 MHz this evening.
