[VHFcontesting] [222Activity] 222 Activity Report 06/10/2025 K1WHS

[David Olean]

Great activity on 222 last night. I noted the same conditions. I worked 
about the same crew, but missed KA3FQS. I tried with N4QWZ and we almost 
made it on meteors at about 1000 miles, but I had to stop to get my 
beauty sleep as I am off early today for a trout fishin' trip to the 
White Mtns in NH.  I never heard K3SK after 15 minutes of listening on 
Q65B. I also worked WW1Z and WA1T.

I did hear a new beacon for me at least on 222.062.4 CW. VE3WCC/b in 
FN15XI. It is quite weak and I have to wait for a QSB peak to pick it 
out. That is a new beacon for me. I found it by accident, as I stowed 
the antenna NW in case of high winds. I wonder if any other northern New 
England ops hear it.

I tried with WA3EOQ and noted that Howard was weaker than last week. I 
was sending my grid for three transmissions before he came out of the 
noise enough to tell wat hewas sending. After the QSO, I realized that I 
had the wrong antenna selected. I was using my 8 X 5 el array aimed SW 
at 224 degrees. I was surprised that I heard him at all. In the past, 
that array does not hear EOQ at all.

I am waiting to hear what happened with the WZ1V QSO Marathon. The 
222ctivity Committee is supposed to issue a report later today.
