[VHFcontesting] [222Activity] Hawaii on 222 EME

[David Olean]

  Hello Tom,

I am hoping to be on 222 MHz this evening (Friday night)  looking or 
contacts.  Normally I would be on the ten meter contest, but no more ten 
meter array. It is a pile of rubble at the moment.  . So I hope to make 
it on 222 EME instead.  I can operate up to about 0100 UT, and then 
again after 0500UT when the elevation is below 60 degrees.   Moonset for 
me is 11:30 UT on Saturday. I look forward to some fun. One of my most 
memorable contacts on 222 EME was working NH6Y at the start of a 222 MHz 
Sprint in Fall of 2022. I called CQ and my first contact was NH6Y off 
the Moon. The Moon was setting at about +4 degrees, and I got called by 
NH6Y!!

I hope to see some activity tonight.
