[VHFcontesting] 222 Activity Night Summary

[David Olean]

Thanks to all who got on last night. I only have about 1 minute to write 
this, but activity was really great. I ended up with 29 stations worked 
including W1XR in FM19. My cavity preamp was sorely missed as I could 
not work K3SK, who was copying me about every sequence, I never heard 
him at all. UNfortunately, his beam heading is almost the same as the 
CH11 TV station that overloads my frontend.  It really showed last 
night.  I tried a few skeds with N8WNA and K9FW.  I heard nothing, but 
K9FW did hear me for one sequence so that was exciting on a 740 mile 
path.   Somehow I missed N1SV and WA1PBU in all the excitement. I also 
never connected with WA1T across the lake in NH.  He was going to try 
his Quansheng on DSB.  I did work WA3EOQ 500 miles, and VE3DS 430 miles. 
W1XR is over 400 miles as well.  Hopefully I will be back at full RXing 
strength in a few weeks.

Have to run
