[VHFcontesting] NE Texas through upstate NY, SE Ontario Tropo for 222 MHz Sprint?

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Along the lines of Ev's reminder about the 222 Sprint...has anyone else looked at Hepburn's forecast for Tuesday? Do I interpret correctly that this predicts some great potential for contacts along that path? Also look at the forecast for Wednesday...the time of the 222 Sprint is right between those two...could be interesting.

K9JK/R will be roving for the Sprint from around my local 4 corners here in the NW suburbs of Chicago (EN51,52,61,62)...possibly with a more serious antenna (a CC225WB) than the log periodic that I normally use.

In the words of the late Mr. Seabreeze...listen for the weak ones!

73, JK

  ...Tuesday's 222 MHz sprint!  You've got equipment
  laying around, it's just not connected together,
  right? :)  Spend a couple hours today, hooking it up. 
  You'll be glad that you did.  If you can operate only
  a little while, then activate during the last hour
  (but operate longer if you can!).

  PS: I have it on good word that there will be quite an
  active group of folks in the more-difficult-to-find
  VE3 grids between Toronto and the St. Lawrence seaway
  on Tuesday night.  This may be a great opportunity for
  you to get them in your log!
