If you have 222 MHz gear but always seem to be busy on Tuesday night, that is no excuse for missing this episode of 222 Night.  The following are excuses that will not be allowed this evening:

> If none of your excuses fit the above two correct excuses, you are obliged to make the effort and get on the 222 band and try to make a contact.  If you do go to Wyoming and pick a different peak, you might still be excused, but the ruling is subject to the Board of Directors of the 222 MHz band. Action starts after dinner and goes for as long as conditions warrant.  222.100 is the calling frequency.
