[VHFcontesting] 222 Mhz question

[Eric Smith]

And the answer is... Yes... Because of the crushingly huge number of 222 users on the air during contests:)
it is advisable to have the ability to operate on 223.5 FM as well as SSB. Transverters will work in the FM mode so it helps to have a suitable IF rig available:) A vertical gain omni (for FM)  is handy but not necessary to get a few more in the log...

Hi,

	I was wondering if all contest contacts on 222 Mhz are made using
	converters or if some quantity of contacts are made with people
	using 222 Mhz FM rigs.

	Any information will be appreciated.
