Hi Mike and all,

Follow-up comments from here...

> With my VHF(UHF) motivation at an all time low,

Mine too, sadly. The one "regularly scheduled" activity I am truly 
interested in is 222 Activity Night, but I'm still trying to find the 
magic bullet that will allow me to be there.

VHF contests have become far less enjoyable and my 222/432 QSO count has 
drastically decreased because I am not finding people on 144 to make 
arrangements for higher bands.

> if I am lucky will net me 3(?) Q's on your 222Tuesdays

That'd be 3 more than me! But I totally get your point.

> I wonder if anyone in VE1/9/VY2 even has 222?

I'm not aware of anyone. I think the last VE1//9/VY2 I worked on 222 was 
VE1UT. Come to think of it, Bernie may have been the only one, ever! It 
would be nice to have some activity over your way, but I understand 
getting on is not worth the cost when you are so far from most of the 
activity. I'm closer than you and struggling with those decisions even 
here. If you hear of anyone out that way who has 222 capability, please 
let me/us know!

73,
Paul N1BUG
