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.
