[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 222 Activity night

[David Olean]

I had fun too, but was relegated to my fixed yagi that just aimed SW at 
220 degrees .I think I worked just about everyone that Good Buddy Ron 
WZ1V worked except for K3SK in FM07. That is a big stretch for me at 575 
miles or so.  WW1Z made it into my log as well.  Activity was a bit 
light and I quit about 8:30 PM with hopes of working on fixing my yagis 
in my shop, but when I got back home, I was too tired and hit the sack.  
Tower work and log splitting will do that to you apparently.  The 
antenna repairs are coming along nicely.

Conditions seemed rather poor, but not having the rotatable array with 
all that gain will give you that impression.

I am hoping to be on 432 tonight for the 432 Sprint.   THe Hepburn map 
shows some great local conditions, but any really long distance DX is 
now less likely. Still, with plenty of activity, maybe a few neat 
contacts will be made.
