Remember that all the cool kids show up on Tuesday night for 222 
Activity Night.  In addition, we should all be aware that the secretive 
and all knowing 222 MHz Activity Committee is constantly monitoring and 
keeping notes on the participants.   I know from experience that you 
should always be on their good side.

I looked at the Hepburn tropo map and there is an unusual formation of 
conditions on the Southern New England coast extending down to the SW 
and along the coast.  No guarantees, but it might be worth checking out. 
If you look closely, the best place to be is around GB Ron's house in 
Eastern CT along the shoreline.   I will hopefully be on stating a few 
minutes before 2300 UT looking for contacts.  I am spending the day 
working on my ten and two meter tiwer repair. I painted a few 45 
sections today and sorted out guy wires.  I am rigging up the 2nd set of 
guys at about 70 ft.  Hopefully I will have some energy left this evening.

Remember to monitor the ON4KST Chat page especially if yu live in the 
hinterlands. If people know you are QRV, they will aim your way..  Use 
the 144/432 Region 2 page.

CU this evening.
