[VHFcontesting] 222 Activity Night

[paulrollinson at sbcglobal.net]

Hey Ron,

You were loud, and should be.

I agree with Paul (BUG), we need to spread out a bit instead of clobbering
each other on .100.

Maybe establish a "channelized" system of 222.100, 222.125, 222.150, 222.174
(DIG) 222.200

I heard a few station on .100 but tried cqing up the band with no luck.

Travel next week so see you in 2 weeks.

Thanks es 73,

Hi Paul -
I worked 14 between 7 - 8:30 PM, and
only 2 more 8:30 - 9:00 PM (W1JR and K1RZ). 
I usually quit by 9:00 or 9:30 at the latest. 
I know K1DY says he gets on around 10,
but don't know who else is around at that time.
