Hi Jay & 222 ops,

I was hoping to make some noise on Monday afternoon/evening.  My Moon rise is at 19:15 UT. You will have Moon a short time later, and just before 20:00 UT.    Maybe there might be others who want to try a rising Moon attempt at 222 MHz for Monday night?  All it takes is a decent yagi and low loss feedline or an antenna mtd preamp.    I will be on HB9Q Chat for 222 MHz and will also monitor ON4KST chat as well.  I have worked a few stations with single yagis and it is quite possible if things line up. 250 watts is good, but I have worked WA3EOQ with his single 16 el yagi and 85 watts in the shack. We needed a few tries before everything lined up.  The typical mode is Q65B-60  I usually go 2nd and frequency will be around 222.080.  Let me know, so I can plan.

On Tuesday night, (222 Activity Night) things usually get going around
00:00 UT or 7 PM on the East Coast. The Moon will be a ways up then, so no rising Moon tries are possible unless you live in Hawaii!!  At 00:00 UT the Moon is up at 43 degrees in Maine and well up across the country. 
I can run earlier if anyone wants to try, but I do plan to be around on Monday afternoon starting at 19:30 or so. That is 2:30 PM on the East Coast.
