[VHFcontesting] 222 MHz Activity Night Summary

[Dave Olean]

I worked about the same stations on 222 MHz  as WZ1V  snagged this 
evening.  KA2ENE(FN13)  and I managed a trifecta by working on three 
modes: FT8, CW, and then SSB.  I heard KA3FQF/r in FN29. He was CQing on 
FT8 but I could not raise him.  I also copied N4QWZ  (EM66) on meteors 
while he was trying with Les, N1SV. My best distance worked was K3SK 
(FM07) at 575 miles but we needed Q65 to do it.  WA3EOQ (FM09) was very 
weak but rather steady, so it was an easy contact other than he was 
barely audible up here. I did also work WB2VVV who was portable near 
Waterville Valley in NH. I also worked WA1LWC in FN42 for (I think) 24 
stations. Things really slowed down after 9 PM 0100 UT. I didn't stick 
around and headed home.  Lots of folks on from other areas and all were 
having fun.  WQ5S, KF0M KY4G, K9MRI and a slew of others were all in 
there making noise. Thanks to all who got on.
