Yes boys and girls it is time for the fantastic excitement of another 
222 MHz activity evening. Dust off your Gonset IV and get on the air!!? 
I came down with a bad cold yesterday evening. I will not be on as I am 
pretty much bed ridden today and not up to an adventure up the hill thru 
our latest snow fall. I am consuming cough drops and cold remedies at an 
alarming rate. My wife is keeping her distance from me even more than 
her usual 200 ft. It looks bad, but that does not mean everyone else 
cannot get on and have some fun.? Last week Good Buddy Ron WZ1V had 28 
contacts and his totals have been going up lately. Will he break the 30 
QSO barrier and usher in Springtime conditions?? Will a new station or 
two show up from a rare grid?? Will K3SK burn a hole through the band 
with his repaired antenna?? Your best bet to find out is to get on this 
evening around 2300 UT on 222.100 MHz and find out! K8RYU will be on 
from Ohio and looking for DX.? WA3EOQ might be late and QRV after 0100 
UT if his volleyball league is playing tonight. All in all it looks like 
a great time to be on one of the best VHF bands for an evening.

I am going back to bed with my cough drops.

I will be on tonight, at least one eye is still working!! Also look for
W4FVQ in EM79RB. Denny runs a pair of FO16's and 100w. I believe he can do
all modes.

Yeah.. what is the status of that?
I need to make tweaks to the array and I want to make sure I need to
know when to have it done by!
