The weather was awful here, with winds and some pretty heavy rain at times. 
The band conditions however, on 222 were not bad at all. I started off aimed 
West at 7 PM, and worked a few stations out in WNY, which was very nice. 
Often times, those grids remain empty, but not this time! Worked FN02, FN12, 
FN13, and FN22 right at the start in a flurry of activity.  I worked K2QO/R 
in FN02 and later on in FN03.
Some good DX: VE3ZV in EN92, N4MW in FM17, and KN4SM in FM16.
    I did not work any grids northwest, north, northeast or east of my own 
grid.In fact I worked only 2 grids that bordered FN43 (FN32 and FN42) I kept 
calling in those directions, but never heard anyone.  I ended up with 45 Qs 
in 20 grids.
