[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 222 MHz Activity night

[David Olean]

I worked a bunch of stations this evening. I worked most of the stations 
listed by GB Ron. I missed trying with  W1AUV and  W2BYP, but got 
everyone else plus WW1Z, WA1MBA, WA2JAY  and ended up with 27 stations 
and 28 Qs as I worked W8ZN (485 miles) on CW early with weak signals but 
then copied him very loud on FT8 later in the evening. Best QSO was 
WA3EOQ at 502 miles and he was Q5 and 529 for the entire time that I 
heard him. This is unusual but similar to three weeks ago when Howard 
was very loud over that long path. I am not sure what to make of it as 
local signals were often times a bit weak.    K3GNC was great copy on 
SSB with his 16 watts. I must have caught Jerome on a good QSB peak. He 
dropped down as we finished the QSO.  All in all, it was  great evening 
with many signals and not enough time to try with everyone. My walk down 
the hill was interesting as I encountered a rather big possum and it 
just turned around and I followed it home. I was a bit upset that his 
home was next to my home.
