Haven't heard a peep on SSB or CW but 50.313 and 144.174 are full of signals. I've walked away. Experimenting with 10 GHz stuff is more fun. N1BUG My plans for the January VHF contest are as follows
It's Tuesday! 222 ops, you know what that means! Time to put aside thoughts of winter for an evening and have some fun on the greatest VHF band! Use those amplifiers to heat the shack if you've got '
Well, conditions were as bad as they get. That's not too surprising considering the cold, breezy conditions with a cold front passing through. I worked only four stations. W1AIM 279 km CW W1GHZ 279 k
Hi Dave K1WHS, and others I am sure that we can adjust our lives and spend the time necessary I realize I have yet to prove that I can now be there most Tuesday evenings, but I would like to think I
I worked 6 stations tonight: WZ1V, W1GHZ, K1TEO, W1ZC, W1AIM, AF1T. Heard several times but could not work K1PXE. Yeah, I missed the last two weeks. I had a surgical consult scheduled for Tuesday, Fe
I am really hoping to be on for this "special" 222 night... and it would be great to work someone on 222.222 as Dave suggests. This week it is all going to come down to weather. We have heavy freezin
It is still unclear whether the storm will impact tonight, but I would like to try to work someone on 222.222 at 2222 UTC 2/22/22. We will never get another shot at this. Is anyone up for this? Email
No one stepped forward for my proposed 2222Z QSO. Around 2300Z it started raining. By 0000Z when people showed up for Activity Night I had 25 degrees, HEAVY rain and already nearly 0.2" of radial ice
Hello friends, Even after inconveniencing a lot of people to free up my Tuesday schedule I am still struggling to stay awake and functional in the evenings. There may be an occasional Tuesday when I
Kind of a slow night. Worked WZ1V and N1SV on CW, W1FKF, WA3NUF, N8RA on FT8. Heard but could not work: AF1T and K1PXE on CW, N1YCQ on FT8. 73, Paul N1BUG FN55mf _____________________________________
It is great to see that N1BUG was on and N8RA too. This is one of the few operating activities I won't give up. I will be there on any Tuesday that I still have a few brain cells willing to cooperate
At least you tried Bill! I have the opposite problem, even after all my attempts to make Tuesday a less busy day. I got on at 7 pm, heard WZ1V CQing but didn't get a QSO on the first try. Next thing
There was sufficient activity to provide 15 QSOs, 9 grids in just under 90 minutes of operating. That is better than I get these days in any of the major all band VHF contests and enough to make it f
Wow! The operator here managed to be in working order until 0030Z (8:30 PM) two nights in a row! That is in part due to my last few days starting at 5 AM rather than 3 AM but there is a price to be p
As K1DY noted with surprise when I worked him, I was up way past my bedtime. I was there for 3 hours, 45 minutes. I can't remember the last time I was awake and functioning at nearly 11 PM. Condition
Well, only 6 QSOs but I had fun with my 25 watts to a K1FO-40 at 110 feet. WZ1V FN31 CW easy! K1TEO FN31 SSB easy! N1DPM FN32 CW easy! K1DY FN54 SSB easy of course VE2XX FN25 CW tough one W1AIM FN34
I was on the tower wrestling with two runs of 3/4" CATV cable I am installing when I realized the sun was right in my face and it was Tuesday. That can only mean one thing: time to get down and fire
Hey Mike, I can identify with just about everything you said. I miss the every day 2 meter activity we used to have here in Maine/VE1/VE9. I'd like to suggest K1WHS write a book! I would get in line
Hi 222ers and contesters, I didn't dare say anything in advance as that always seems to be a curse, but I managed to be on for the first few minutes last night. I worked K1WHS, N1JEZ, WZ1V and K1TEO
