[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 222 Activity night

[David Olean]

Hi 222 fans,

I hauled and burned White Pine brush all day, so was rather tired by 7 
PM. Activity was pretty good and I ended up with about 24 QSOS. My best 
DX was K3SK worked on Q65B-30. He peaked at about -20 which is right at 
the threshold of hearing and possibly working on CW. There seemed to be 
some long haul enhancement down the coast, but it was very slight.  K3SK 
is about 925 km or almost 575 miles.  I worked pretty much the same crew 
as GB Ron WZ1V. I don't have my log in front of me, but I would add 
WW1Z, WA1T, and W1XR in FM19 to the list.  Two more stations were in 
there as well. I missed KD2LGX  in FN13, but did work W9KXI with normal 
signals 55-56 on SSB. Some were complaining that prop to the West was 
poor.  I did not try any sleds out into Indiana or Michigan. I think all 
that brush burning had taken its toll.  I quit about 9 PM and tried to 
watch the end of the VP debate, but lost interest really fast. All those 
flapping jaws produced so much of nothing for me. Snarky hosts were fun 
to watch as well.

I have gotten a few comments about interesting QSOs. but more entries 
are needed.  The 222 MHz Activity Committee is lining up a great prize 
for the winner of the best QSO for the evening.  It might be a vehicle 
of some sort.
