[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 222 Activity night

[David Olean]

Hi pete

Wow! K3TUF was back on!!! Is he in Euphrata or remote from somewhere 
else? FN10 is getting rare on Tuesday nights.  Phil always had a great 
signal on 144, 222, and 432 up here along with Len, N3NGE. I'll be back 
for the 26th of March 222 nite.  I am all excited as the loggers went up 
on the ridge and removed a bunch of white pines that were very close to 
tower guy wires. They took out a bunch of potential disasters.  The area 
on the ridge now feels a lot more open.  I could mount an eight ft dish 
just a few feet off the rock and have a good shot southwest now. They 
also made it possible for me to see my antennas from the house again. 
They took out an entire grove of tall pines that blocked my view.

I am glad that you had some great luck on Tuesday.  Good luck this Tuesday.
