[VHFcontesting] [222Activity] 222 Activity Night

[David Olean]

Hello Dave

I listened for you on FT8, but no luck. The long paths were not really 
good this evening, but it was QSB  I am sure. WA3EOQ was very weak when 
we worked. I had to strain to copy his CW, but then he peaked up Q5 and 
about S2 right after our QSO when he worked WA3NUF! KO4YC was worked but 
signals were not as loud as many nights. VE3DS out in Toronto was weak 
at about 539-549 at best. Many stations did seem loud at somehat closer 
distances. W1XR at 412 miles peaked an honest S8!  I am hoping that we 
eventually can work without having to use the Moon as a passive reflector.

Good luck at Dayton!
