[VHFcontesting] more excitement than most people can stand.... It's Tuesday on 222!

[David Olean]

Hi VHFers

I looked at the Hepburn map and things looks bleak for Mumbo Jumbo Land 
as  chains of t-storms will be aligned NE-SW extending down to the mid 
Atlantic states from me, and that means very unstable conditions. If you 
can believe the map, stations along the MA CT coast will avoid the 
unsettled area.  There is a weather advisory for scattered strong T 
storms up here. My plan is to get on at about 22:45 UT and see how long 
I can hold out. Last week there was some tropo around the thunderstorms 
if you were in the right spot. Last week I was lucky. This time, it may 
not be very good here at all, but that does not mean I won't try some 
contacts. Last week the activity level was up a bit and I had contact 
totals in the mid 20's. I think WZ1V also had a great night.   Don't 
forget to check in to the ON4KST Chat page. Use 144/432 Region 2 Chat 
when you go to that website.

Don't forget the NEWS Picnic this coming Saturday.
