Tonight is 222 activity Night. I have been very busy working on getting 
my 222 solid state transmitter going. I have a RF driver unit with three 
solid state amps for 50, 144, and 222 MHz. There is metering and 
switching system and I can read the actual RF drive power and current 
drain on the panel meters.   I am also bolting down the RF output filter 
and running RF cables using UT-250 semi rigid hardline. I am interfacing 
all the protection circuitry, and should have it all ready in a few 
days. With all that activity, I lost track of time and here it is being 
Tuesday night!!!  So get on 222.100 and see what you can hear and work. 
Chat pages include ON4KST  Region 2  144/432 and possibly the HB9Q 222 
chat page if EME is being contemplated. That Moon looks awfully big in 
the eastern sky tonight.    Don't forget to tell us how you did with an 
after action report.
