[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 222 activity night

[David Olean]

i Ron,

I just needed to copy your report for mine, as we worked mostly the same 
stations with the exception that I worked WW1M and my neighbor across 
the lake in NH, WA1T, then N1LHP in Wilmington, MA..  WW1M was actually 
the first station worked with my new Q5 transverter. As a result, Bruce 
won a free beer from Dave at the Fall VHF Conference, as long as he 
proves that he is not a working stiff, in which case, he would have owed 
me a beer for the chance to be the first contact on the new transverter.

SIgnals on some paths this evening were above average. Other paths were 
flat. I did note that the KO1I/b on 222.064 was very loud off the back 
of my beam. It was as loud as when I point directly at it, so things 
were up to the NE from me.  WA3EOQ was pretty weak over the 500 mile 
path to the SW, but it is always a good day when a contact can be made. 
No complaints to the SW. WA2LTM  and WA3NUF were both very good copy on 
SSB. Fading was not much of a problem this time. It was a nice enjoyable 
evening.
