[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 222 activity night

[David Olean]

Hi Alex,

Conditions this time of year really are "the pits".  It was very 
interesting to see the band change as the weeks progressed and the 
atmosphere changed with the warmer weather.  Having a regular 222 night 
really shows off this fact. Honestly, there are some times when you 
start to think that something is broken, but it is just some very deep 
fading.  When those better days appear, it is a happy time.

I am working on getting some gear back up on the hill.  I am hoping to 
be on for the next Tuesday.  I walked up there yeaterday. The antenna 
has survived the winter storms, and the shack looks good. (No mice 
debris)  I am very happy about that.  I can't wait to start hooking up 
the gear again!!  CU all next week I hope.
