Yes, I know everyone is beat after the September contest, but it is 222 Night again. This seems to happen every Tuesday and I see that there has been rain today, so it must be 222 Night!!  Pete, K1PXE, has noted that rain or T-showers have been plaguing 222 activities here in the northeast on most Tuesdays.  So everyone is all tuckered out from the weekend and the weather is not so hot. HEY!! That is not stopping me. I will be on 222 MHz looking for contacts starting at about 2300 UT. I will Start at 222.100 MHz when things are quiet, and then move off if things get allegedly busy.

There is an added bonus this Tuesday in that Peter KA6U wants to test out his portable EME setup for 222 this evening as well.. He promises to be QRV at 0300 UT on 222 MHz and will be monitoring the HB9Q 222 MHz Chat page. I looked at Moon headings for this evening, and the Moon will be around 20 degrees elevation on the East coast at 0300 UT. That time seems to be Moon rise in the mountain states.  There will be a bunch of BIG signals on for this evening. WA4NJP has his dish all fine tuned for the evening. It is so large that it is indicated on all the aeronautical charts for Georgia. I am not sure, but I think he has been cited by the EPA for causing birth defects in baby eaglets. (They get cross-eyed).

Tuesday night will be a great time to hash out with your friends, about all the DX you worked over the contest weekend. ON4KST (144/432 Region 2) Chat page is good for setting up skeds over longish distances. So a lot is happening this evening.  It is 222 Night. KA6U is testing out his portabopple EME setup, and Lance, W7GJ is on 50 MHz from Mayotte looking for new QSOs via EME on 50 MHz.  Oh yeah....K1PXE says it will be raining!
