Well I was very happy that Fred N1DPM showed up for 222 activity night. We had a nice rag chew and signals were 59+ each way. Fred's signal was outstanding. I listened to Fred run with KO4YC near Ri
Hello Jay I have a series resistor in the HV line (after the capacitors). It is a big 100 watt power resistor. I was thinking of ditching the HV fuse entirely and putting a small low voltage fuse in
Hi Pete, Well, I wasn't rolling on the floor laughing when it happened. I went looking for my hard hat and ducked as the shrapnel flew around behind the rack! The good news is that the amp is OK. I
Dave, Hi ! Various tube type industrial RF generators use the #30/32 wire fuse with good results. Those HV fuses and Ohmite resistors tend to be costly these days. Also, the problem may have been som
I expect to be there for a change! I'm not sure exactly what my operating plan is. I will be watching ON4KST chat for sure. I will probably CQ somewhere 10 to 15 kHz below or above K1WHS, mostly CW b
Dave OK on 222 - I will be there ! But complaining about 2.5 cents electric ? Try Connecticut, cheapest supplier is over 10 cents ! I might have to go QRP ! 73 Ron WZ1V -- Original Message -- From: D
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
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
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

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
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
Hi Ron, You sounded good up here. I sense that we are slowly getting into better VHF conditions. I know that N2JQR was around, but he disappeared before I could get lined up with him. I never heard
Last night was my first night participating in 222 Activity Night, and first time ever on 222 SSB. I concur with what you said Pete, as any activity is good activity, and though I had one in the log
Hey Ron, If you run into a snag, I would be willing to help you find the problem. No beer would be involved in the deal either!! What are good buddies for? Dave On 6/7/2022 9:30 PM, Ron Klimas WZ1V
i Ron, I just needed to copy your report for mine, as we worked mostly the same stations with the exception that I worked WW1M and my neighbor across the lake in NH, WA1T, then N1LHP in Wilmington, M
Hi Ron & 222 fanatics, There was a bunch of activity, and it was great to hear Bill, K1DY in there making noise. I worked many of the same stations that you did, and despite the rain and depressed s
