[VHFcontesting] Wow, it is 222 Activity Night again.

It seems that I am still digging out from the 222 and Up Contest, and 
here it is. Another Tuesday!!   It is raining hard here in Northern New 
England. (So what else is new?)  I still plan to be on for an evening of 
fun and relaxation to enjoy one of the best VHF bands we have the 
privilege to be allocated.

The ON4KST Chat page is a good resource to set up schedules if there is 
no one in your area. Seeing that it is August 8th, the meteors will be 
ramping up and a meteor sked or two might be fun. I will be on and ready 
at about 22:45 UT or 6:45 PM and looking on 222.100 from my QTH here in 
Maine.  I am hoping that the Ohio contingent shows up more often and 
tries skeds with some of the East Coasters.

So circle Tuesday night for 222 MHz and try to get on and work a few, or 
any station on that band.  You never know when an anonymous donor will 
offer up another brand new Bass Pro Shops Bass Boat and trailer to a 
lucky 222 MHz winner!
