Hello vhfers

Don't forget to get on 222 MHz and exercise your ssb and cw signals 
tonight.  I looked at the Hepburn index and things look better than we 
have seen in the last week. There is a very slight enhancement over 
Lakes Erie and Ontario. I am not sure how that will work out, but I will 
be in there trying.   Activity starts around 23:00 UT.  Look around 
222.100 MHz and then move off the calling frequency as activity peaks 
up.   The 222 and Up contest was so poorly attended, that I doubt anyone 
is burned out by too much ham radio.  So get on this evening, and make 
some noise.  In the past there have been some incentives to foster 
activity on 222. There may be a surprise coming up from the 222 MHz 
Activity Committee.  It would be a good idea to be on so that you could 
be in the running for a nice prize.  Who knows you might win a nice aged 
Kielbasa from Chicopee, MA?
