I have survived another one. I operated in my first VHF contest way back in the last century sometime around 1980. Since then, other than the impact of digital modes, the biggest difference I've noti
I plan on being active for the 222 Sprint this Tuesday from FM07th in central Virginia. I will be operating SSB, CW and all Digital modes (FT8, MSK, Q65). I also have EME capability. Station here is
It was fun. I managed a total of 16 contact, which isn't bad for way down here in FM07. I logged contacts with several different modes: SSB, CW, FT8, Q65. Surprisingly, 6 contacts were SSB and all we

Conditions were bad. I managed 6 contacts, all FT8 before I threw in the towel. I will try to be on mornings and evenings for the Orionids shower. I need MA and RI on 222MHz. Is there anyone active u
I'll try to remember to look for you next week Buddy. We should be able to make it if there is any little bit of enhancement. What are you using for 222? de Dave K3SK FM07 4x13el LFA & KW Larcan Work
I'll be active for a little while this evening but will be calling it early as I want to get up at 0'dark-thirty to see if I can score FL on 222 on meteors. I also need MA on 222. It's the only NE st
You are 3 months to late. I tossed several stacks of 'EME Newsletter', '220 Notes' and 'VHF/UHF and Above'. All from the early to mid 1980a and a few from the 90s. de K3SK Hello and Happy New Year al
A usual, I will be on for Tuesday 222 Activity Night looking to work as may others as possible. Although I am not a contender for the Bass Boat or other "over 30 contacts" awards, I am looking for th
Just so you know .... I am still looking for MA & RI to my northeast, KY to my west and AR to the SW to finish up all states east of the Mississippi on 222. de K3SK FM07th Virginia __________________

Weird conditions on the band. I had a very high noise level to the NE and almost zero noise to the SW. Probably the first time I didn't complete a QSO with WZ1V, and it wasn't for lack of trying. I w
Pretty bad conditions tonight, but still for my location a decent number of QSOs were worked. Logged 19 QSOs in 14 Grids/9 States/1 Canadian Provence. Still did not snag MA, RI, KY or MS to complete
Any of you die hard VHF/UHF/Microwave hams considering a trip to Dayton Hamvention in May, and maybe thought about selling some stuff but don't want to spend the money for a space? My regular selling
Dan, I don't have any amps, but if you are planning on building any antennas, I have UV safe insulated element mounting blocks for VHF/UHF yagis. Made for both round and square booms in most common m
So, there I was in the middle of hooking up my new HF rigs (FTDX-101D pre Dayton sale and I couldn't resist) when it happened. I had power hooked up to both new rigs but couldn't go much further with
I plan on being on tonight. Maybe this will be the Tuesday I add MA or RI to my 222 WAS list. Also, close in and still missing from my states worked list is KY. I am beginning to think both 222 and 4
