[VHFcontesting] [222Activity] Another Tuesday and time to get on 222!

[K3SK at buckwalter.co]

A successful night way down here in FM07.   It was a nice change to find some of the stations south of my location active.   At the same time I was disappointed that I once again didn't hear much out of New England.   Either the noise floor is pretty high up there, or you guys need more antenna.   I copied K1WHS, but Dave had a pretty high noise level beaming my direction and was unable to decode my signal tonight.

Hey boys and girls, don't forget that this is another Tuesday so anyone with any sort of 222 MHz gear should be planning to be on the band this evening. I know it is the dead of winter and the winds are howling and the snow is blowing around. Your rotator is probably stuck.  If your house is anything like mine, I'll bet your furnace broke. Your fridge probably died, and your hot water heater just rotted out and warm water just spilled out all over the cellar.  All of these are no excuse to miss the fun on 222 MHz this evening.  The fun starts at around 7PM on the East Coast, which is 00:00 UT. Look around 222.100 MHz for any activity and move off the calling frequency when people start showing up.  Many regulars onitor the ON4KST Chat page ( 144/432 MHz  region 2) Here in Mumbo Jumbo Land, it is blowing snow with high winds and plunging temperatures.  I am not sure I will be on. It all depends on how bad it gets by this evening. I am hoping to be on but it all depends on whether I can start the generator.  I am thankful that I was not picked by the 222 MHz Activity Committee for the all expenses paid trip to Beechey Island. The low band POTA operator who agreed to go has left Temiskiming QC  as of this past Friday and must be enjoying the trip across Labrador  with the sled dogs and whale blubber. I can't wait to hear all the details after the trip.

So please make an attempt to get on the band, make a few contacts, and deliver some excitement  to the 222 MHz band tonight.
