[VHFcontesting] Don't look now, but it's 222 Night!

[David Olean]

Well, after a rousing 144 MHz Sprint yesterday, it is just another run 
of the mill 222 Night for this evening. That means that you should be 
making sure everything works just fine to get ready for next week when 
the Eyes of the northern hemisphere will be on the 222 band on next 
Tuesday for the 222 Sprint. There will be excitement and prizes galore. 
Some lucky 222 op will have a chance to win a trailer and a fully 
equipped bass boat!    I am kidding about the bass boat. Come to think 
of it I am also lying about all the prizes, but don't hold that against 
me.  I wasn't kidding about the excitement.  Hopefully we might get some 
of the FB conditions that happened on Monday night during the 144 
Sprint. With warmer weather comes the chance of decent tropo,

I got my first really good days of warm weather and I am hauling stuff 
back up to the shack. It finally hit 60 degrees and it feels like 
summer. (Almost)     So be on 222 tonight after supper. Activity starts 
on the East Coast around 7 PM or 23:00 UT.  I am praying for good 
conditions like we had last week.  We also need activity. Please make an 
appearance if you are able. I will accept only a doctor's note if you 
are physically unable to show up.

A small wrinkle is that I am going to try a solar powered 222 Night this 
evening. I will be running less power, so the trick is to see if you can 
hear me tonight!
