I'd like to find out who else in the Eastern MA / Southern NH / Northern RI / 
(maybe southern Maine?) area will be active during the 222 Sprint on Tuesday 
evening, Oct 1.

I will start in FN42, likely on a hill in Brookline (northwest to northeast 
view) or if I have poor coverage move to a hill in Needham (southwest to 
northwest view). I have not decided yet if I will rove to a second location in 
FN41 (two hour drive there and back plus setup time) in addition to FN42. Will 
anyone else be staying up late to make this effort worthwhile?

I will be operating out of my car and will have a 5 element beam on a 15 foot 
stand (I will be on a hilltop). I can work sideband with my 25 watt 
transverter. I could also work FM on 223.50 but with only 5 watts. I will not 
have FT8.

I will be active from 7 P.M. to 8 P.M. local time or later if there is more 
activity, and if there is enough interest I can setup in FN41 (Raynham, MA) and 
operate from 10:00 to 10:30 P.M. local time.
I will likely hang out on the 222.100 watering hole, or if it is busy be 
somewhere in the range 222.100 to 222.160.

Respond to the reflector so we can get our activity plans publicized, or if 
you'd like to set up a sked, send me an e-mail. My e-mail is my callsign at 
arrl.net
