I am making an attempt at 222 activity tonight. It is about 16f and real 
high winds. I am not sure the diesel genset will start. I really need 
heat in the shack, so will look into another propane vented heater for 
the microwave  and 222 shack.  Its a wonder the stuff works with no heat 
up there! I am using an industrial computer with a SSD. So far it has 
been OK, but tonite is rather brutal with the winds.  If I show up, it 
worked. If I am absent, the generator would not start. The diesel has no 
pre heat function.

There should be some EME activity all evenin and well after the 0100 UT 
time frame.
