[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] February 1st is Tuesday, and that means 222 Activity Night

[David Olean]

Hi Mike

I wish I was there.  Temps in the morning have been hovering around 
zero. The last few days warmed up to the 20's and it felt good compared 
to 3 or 4 degrees and wind!  I am getting my ham radio fix on 160. I 
made a few QRP contacts to DL8LAS, OK1CF, and G3PQA, when things were 
good.  I'll bet Paul W1GHZ, has a hard time thinking of me as being on QRP!
