A successful night way down here in FM07. It was a nice change to find some
of the stations south of my location active. At the same time I was
disappointed that I once again didn't hear much out of New England. Either
the noise floor is pretty high up there, or you guys need more antenna. I
copied K1WHS, but Dave had a pretty high noise level beaming my direction and
was unable to decode my signal tonight.

Subject: [222Activity] Another Tuesday and time to get on 222!
Hey boys and girls, don't forget that this is another Tuesday so anyone with
any sort of 222 MHz gear should be planning to be on the band this evening. I
know it is the dead of winter and the winds are howling and the snow is blowing
around. Your rotator is probably stuck. If your house is anything like mine,
I'll bet your furnace broke. Your fridge probably died, and your hot water
heater just rotted out and warm water just spilled out all over the cellar.
All of these are no excuse to miss the fun on 222 MHz this evening. The fun
starts at around 7PM on the East Coast, which is 00:00 UT. Look around 222.100
MHz for any activity and move off the calling frequency when people start
showing up. Many regulars onitor the ON4KST Chat page ( 144/432 MHz region 2)
Here in Mumbo Jumbo Land, it is blowing snow with high winds and plunging
temperatures. I am not sure I will be on. It all depends on how bad it gets by
this evening. I am hoping to be on but it all depends on whether I ca
n start the generator. I am thankful that I was not picked by the 222 MHz
Activity Committee for the all expenses paid trip to Beechey Island. The low
band POTA operator who agreed to go has left Temiskiming QC as of this past
Friday and must be enjoying the trip across Labrador with the sled dogs and
whale blubber. I can't wait to hear all the details after the trip.
So please make an attempt to get on the band, make a few contacts, and deliver
some excitement to the 222 MHz band tonight.
