[VHFcontesting] 222 activity night

[David Olean]

Hi GB Ron

Well I finished repair of the rear end of the 222 MHz yagi. Ittook until 
about 10 PM.Now I have to climb the 100 ft tower and stick it back 
together. The hard part will be drilling two holes that will secure the 
two sections together and also connect up the support truss to the boom 
there. I sure hope it goes together without any problems. //It sounds 
like you did well as usual. The QSO totals have been a bit lower than in 
the Summer months, but I still say that activity is good. I sure hope 
that I get things back together ASAP, so I can continue to rattle 
N1YCQ's cage to improve his receiver!! His signal peaked about the same 
as WA3EOQ who had 85 watts in the shack, but Howard has almost no 
feedline loss on 222.Wheat has 2 dB more loss, so it works out about the 
same on TX. The 2 dB on receive is a killer.

Thanks for the report and sorry that I missed the fun!
