Hi VHFers Don't forget that Tuesday is the day for 222 activity. If at all possible, try to be on 222 this evening. There is a core group of very active folks there just looking for new contacts.
Tonight is 222 activity Night. I have been very busy working on getting my 222 solid state transmitter going. I have a RF driver unit with three solid state amps for 50, 144, and 222 MHz. There is me
Hello 222 denizens, It is a special Two Two Two night indeed. All of those twos lining up on the same day that we are all getting on two two two is pretty fantastic. I think to celebrate, we should
Alright! I knew this would be big. Almost as good would be 02:22 UT although it is actually on the 23rd, but I won't complain if anyone does it. I expect a report! Dave K1WHS Paul N1BUG -=-=-=-=-=-
That is a great list of 222 denizens. I am very happy that our little activity experiment on 222 now has legs and seems to be self perpetuating. Reading the list of contacts from Ron, WZ1V was ver
Hey, it's Tuesday!! That means a fun evening frolicking on one of the best VHF bands we have allocated in North America. That is the 222 MHz band BTW. I am all fired up because we had about 2 days
I had the decimal point in the wrong place. It is 24.9 cents per kWh! We had a huge rate increase in December. Dave K1WHS On 3/8/2022 6:45 PM, Ron Klimas WZ1V wrote: Dave OK on 222 - I will be there

I made a simple mistake and got the decimal point in the wrong spot. I am paying about 25 cents per kwh not 2 1/2 cents. Sorry, but that decimal point sure messed up the story! The electric company i
Tonight is Activity Night for 222 MHz. The fun starts after dinner. I don't know about you, and I do know that it is fashionable to eat late, but most of the 222 guys and gurls show up starting about
Hi Ron That is a pretty fair list of active stations. Quite impressive, really. It is great to see that N1BUG was on and N8RA too. But where is the Toronto contingent? I am putting the finishing tou
Hi Alex, Conditions this time of year really are "the pits". It was very interesting to see the band change as the weeks progressed and the atmosphere changed with the warmer weather. Having a regu
It is Tuesday, and this is a friendly reminder for all who have 222 equipment, to turn on the switch and try it out this evening for the latest 222 activity period. I am hoping to be there. I hooked
I really tried, but things just did not work out. I walked up the hill with a laptop and my Anritsu antenna tester. I turned on all the gear and listened for the new beacon on 222.060. I heard nothi
Thanks for being there and making noise on 222, Ron. Good Buddy Ron has been a fixture on Tuesday nights and I am thrilled that the good activity on Tuesday has held up over the winter months. I did
Hello 222 fanatics! Today is Tuesday and I am getting geared up for the activity night. Last week was a comedy of errors on my part. I am finding that I am losing most of my fast ball and most proble
Hi Bill, I will definitely be on and looking for you in FN54! It has been a long time. I just got back from the shack and all seems in order. I put the big PA back in the rack but did not try it. I a
Hello 222 addicts, Well, things have started to settle down around here. I worked most of the day getting all sorts of things put back together and it paid off. I made a few trips up the tower to ge
Hello VHFers, Conditions seemed quite bad during the 222 Sprint. We had a storm pull through earlier in the day that actually caused a fair amount of damage in the Southern New Hampshire area with fa
