[VHFcontesting] 222 MHz Activity night

[Dave Olean]

Hi 222 MHz ops

The Moon is setting here in Maine this evening at about .  The 
degradation is about 2.5 dB, so not great, but getting better. I am not 
sure if anyone will be on 222 EME, but i am always willing to try 
something, especially on a Tuesday night. Moonset is just about 01:30 UT 
or 8:30 PM local time here on East Coast.  I am hoping to be QRV at 
23:30 UT and will monitor the HB9Q Chat page if anyone wants to try an 
EME attempt.  Most local activity starts at about 00:00 UT  and Tuesday 
nights are a good time to check out your 222 gear, as activity is high.  
  Many folks use ON4KST 144/432 Region 2 Chat page.  It is a good way to 
let folks know if you are active and live a bit off the beaten path 
between Boston and Philadelphia. This is the last 222 activity period 
before Thanksgiving, so no chance falling asleep from Tryptophane 
overload.  I hope to hear you tonite!
