[VHFcontesting] [222Activity] 222 MHz Tuesday Night Activity period

[Dave Miller]

After a lot of procrastination and inefficiency I am finally QRV on 222 and
looking for Q's CN89ne.
Not a big gun but 50W from Q5 transverter, 11 Element LFA at 12M no preamp
right now.
IC7300 with Kuhne transverter interface.
I would love to set up a Sked. It's a 222 wasteland up here in BC
