[VHFcontesting] 222 Activity night

[David Olean]

Hi Ron,

You sure can dig out stations on 222 MHz. That is a fantastic total for 
activity night in Early May.  I was hoping for good things up this way. 
I was in the shack about 3 PM hooking up the 222 computer and noted the 
K2DLL beacon was very weak. We had poor conditions at that time, with 
some winds. Later on, it did not seem any better.  I could not work 
Howard, WA3EOQ, and that was a disappointment, but W8ZN in FM09 was good 
copy. Seems that Terry, W8ZN gets the golden ear award for the night as 
he worked WA1PBU on CW! WA1PBU was running 10 watts.  I tried with 
KB8VAO in EN92, but no luck at 550 miles. I tried looking for KE8FD too 
with no success.

Here is my list of stations worked.

ND0B   EME  (ND0B also worked K1OR)
N1JEZ    SSB
N1BUG    SSB
K1RZ    CW
WZ1V    CW
W8ZN    CW
KR1ST    CW
WA3NUF    FT8
N1MIW    FT8
K1PXE        CW
W1JR        SSB
WA1PBU    SSB
WA1T        SSB & FT8
W1FKF    FT8
W2BYP    CW
WA4NJP   EME

I heard N2JMH but never managed to pick him up for a QSO. I did not hear 
N2SLO, K2RMX and old buddy WA2Lettuce Tomato & Mayonnaise. I was hoping 
to hear K2LNS in FN11, but no luck there.  The VE3s were notably absent 
too.
