I am flying high as I get to play "radio" tonight on 222 MHz. Most of my days are spent chainsawing and cleaning up branches. Tonight, I get to sit in the chair and try to work something new and exci
Hello 222 ops! Things just keep getting better and better. All the 222 MHz ops who flipped the ON-OFF switch to ON yesterday, deserve a pat on the back. Your participation made for a memorable eveni
I have been skipping out from many of my social duties this summer in order to be there for 222 night. The XYL has been very understanding. She knows that I am busy on Tuesday evenings. I usually ar
It sounds like plenty of activity! That is great. 14 QSOs!! Our company at our camp is leaving on Saturday morning, so I hope to be back home and start getting ready for the 222 & Up Contest by noo

Hi Paul Well I think you did a smashing job from FN55. I have noted the same situation here as I tune around and hear stations working K1TEO. They are audible and workable, but they disappear after
Another Tuesday is coming around (August 11) That means another 222 Activity night for all you VHF hounds. This past weekend was the 222 & Up ARRL Contest, and I get the feeling that I am beating
Hello 222 ops, Well , I seem to have flummoxed my Tuesday night activity by messing up my only EME sked. I should have been there the night before! I was only a day late. Thank goodness I wasn't a "d
Hello Pete That was a great exercise, and I was surprised at the result. In the past, all the VHF/UHF activity was in the NYC-Philly metro areas. Now, it seems that activity is slowly shifting out of
It is Tuesday and you know what that means! Besides fighting off the Murder Hornets, it is also the day set aside for making real contacts on the 222 MHz band. Here on the East Coast, the activity u
Hello Dave Gads! Having wall to wall equipment problems is the pits. Don't lose heart! The philosophy here is (when possible) to try to make the stuff, so when it breaks, there are no shipping charge
Hello 222 ops! I am pretty sure everybody in the northeast is awfully wet from all of the rain we have had from Henri plus all the other disturbances that have been passing through of late. All of t
This all started when a really bad winter storm managed to snap my 222 MHz yagi in half. I got to thinking that I had put an extreme amount of effort into building that antenna, and then realized th
I have been lamenting the passing of Steve K1IIG. In addition to being a very cool guy, he had some very effective beacons running in FN31. The 222 beacon was far enough away to give a good indicatio

Hello VHFers Tuesday August 31 is 222 night. I will be on about 2300 UT looking for contacts on 222.100 plus or minus the QRM. I hope to see many of you on this evening. The Hepburn map is showing a
Hello Alex I think the problem is related to geography. Your location is at right angles to the average direction of most QSOs. No one is routinely aimed in your direction. I am aimed towards you
Hi folks, It is Tuesday and that means 222ctivity Night. People are still talking about last week. The activity level in the Northeast area was through the roof, with quite a number of stations activ
Things were a bit slow on 222 last night, when compared to last week. One look at the Hepburn map and depression could set in. The northeast had no tropo enhancement at all. There was some minor enh
Yes I know that you are burned out from a weekend of non stop VHF and UHF excitement, but it is Tuesday and that means it is activity night around the country. I just got a notice of some 222 activi
