I'm not sure if I will be on for the 222 sprint but please give your 6 digit grid locations to help pointing to you. I'm so west of you in FN30kv long island and will look ur way. Usually several down this way if you have a clear shot. 73 George WA2VNV FN30kvSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

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.
