[VHFcontesting] 222 Activity night

[Alex]

222 Activity Night was a bust for me. I started just after 7pm calling CQ on .100 (SSB) until after a few minutes a CW signal came on who was obviously not hearing me. I dropped 2500Hz and still no takers. I moved my antenna from NE to NW and got nothing. Then I tried the same on FT8; also nothing. I gave up after 40 minutes with zero Q's. Yes, i did check the power out from my amp, just in case. :) 

I did not use the chat page. 

73,
